Hello everyone-
On Friday, one of my students brought me a teeny tiny lizard in a cup that he claims to have caught outside his house. From the coloring it looks like a very tiny leopard gecko - but he's no more than two inches long!
I put him in an available empty terrarium with clean paper towels, the smallest cave I've got, and a piece of driftwood (which he's currently hiding under). There's one 25w sun bulb, but no UTH, because I'm afraid it'd fry him. I shredded some lettuce and put it in the corner and mist the cage. He's very active after two days in there, running around like crazy whenever I open the doors.
What else can I do to care for this poor little guy? I was thinking of getting some flightless fruit flies but I worry that even those may be too big. I'm positive that both my juvenile beardie and adult leo would gobble him up, he's smaller than the superworms they eat.
Any advice on this guy that fell into my lap?
