Well, meet my newest rescue....
A lady came into the petstore where I work and asked if we could take a leopard gecko because her son doesn't play with it, and she can't always get food for it (because she feeds it only pinky mice - doesn't want crickets loose in the house *sigh*). So I told her to bring it in, and I'd take it home.
He (I believe it's a he) definitely needs to put on weight... his tail isn't totally skinny, but as you can see it's definitely not fat either. Is there anything special I should be doing besides offering dusted crickets and an occasional pinky mouse? (btw, we do not have waxworms here, and can only get mealworms occasionally). Should I maybe offer some pedialyte in its drinking water, or is that not necessary?
As you can see, he's barely got a single whole toe on him either... I'll bet he's never even seen a humid hide.
He's also rather grumpy right now (who can blame him?)... I'm sure he'll be happier when I can move him out of his rubbermaid shoebox and into a bigger enclosure. In the meantime, I haven't had a leopard gecko before - what should I expect if he tags me? Am I gonna need stitches? 
But really, are we talking a pinch, crushing, breaking skin?
So, he joins the "someone's kids don't take care of it anymore" gang of lizards which now include him, a Sudan plated lizard, and a tiger ameiva.
Anyway, any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
