Thanks. There was only one in the cage, they admitted that it wasn't the kind of thing they normally get and a then-fired employee convinced them to.

Unfortunately he's lost another toe, although his humidity is good and nutrition is better (although he refuses to eat bugs of any kind) some were injured at the base and may not be healing well He is getting more aggressive though (hissing more and opening his mouth) and is more active, so I'm assuming it's a good sign for a gold. Hopefully if I keep up with handling it'll all work out.

Thanks so much all for helping so much. You've all been life-savers (literally!)! I'll keep you updated when he gets better.
