Thanks,

P.S I have been feeding him only with a glove for the last few weeks.. havnt noticed much of a improvement

Wash your hands!!! Twice.

Before I do anything with my monitors, I wash my hands with orange pumice GOJO. My hands smell like oranges, not mice.
As far as your toes, they probaly look like jummy pinkies to your lizard, and your socks probaly smell like road kill.
Wear shoes, and pit your socks away.
