    Thanks!
    He's doing okay, but it's extremely extremely hard to feed him and give him medicine. He wont eat if i put crickets in his cage still, so i'm stuck with prying his mouth open, and he HATES it. He always is pushing my hand away or pushing my fingers out with his tongue and hands. Eventually, i can put the crickets in his mouth. This process alone takes like a half an hour, the little stinker just hates it. And I don't blame him. The medicine is the same way, he's like "NOPE". He gets so stressed out that his foot leaks red and turns bright red. When he's calmer, its more brown...yikes.
    Is there ANY easier way to this? I just want him to be more comfortable...

    He will have to be force Fed until he Regains his strength. You could use a plastic spoon flipped upside down to open his mouth and place the food or antibiotic in. I would try and get some night crawlers and force feed him chunks of those. They're easier for him ti eat and digest. This will be stressful no matter what. Just be patient and do your best.

    Yessss, nightcrawlers! They are MUCH easier to handle. Around his injury, a strange color has formed...is it regenerating, or decaying? I cannot really tell.
    Here's a picture:

    Yeesh, that doesn't look very good. Looks like decay but I could be wrong.. Hopefully I'm wrong.

    Thanks for helping out this beautiful creature first off. I know force feeding is hard but your keeping him alive. On the newly developed color, does it smell (the wound)? Decay and infections usually smell either funky or sweet.
