Thanks for all the help Don and others
He has no open wounds the only things I fear are internal injuries I can't see. Its pretty obvious his spine was broken he was attempting to climb the wall of the box earlier and he back useless legs ended up underneath him the poor guys spine was practically at a 100 degree angle. He hasn't moved in an hours or so but I hope its just stress and the little guy isn't giving up.
I read the painkilling neosporin will kill them so I'll make sure to keep away from the stuff if he ever does injure himself.
Ill make a trip to the pet store tomorrow morning and purchase the substrate and some crickets. If I give him a bath in the stuff you recommended how would you suggest I go about doing that? I don't want to risk internal injury so I'm avoiding touching him at all for the time being only spritzing his makeshift home every few hours to make sure it stays moist. I'm using some de-chlorinated water in an old cleaned out windex bottle.
I might purchase mealworms first since right now his temporary home has no cover would that be ok or should i present him with options in hopes he will feed. I realize he is stressed and like a lot of captive animals may not feed ever and kill themselves
As of now his home is a small 14x6x6 storage container with some damp paper towels and leaves will this do until I am sure he will make it or should I change something?
