Cool little lizards! Glad he's eating for you! He probably needs a basking area with a uv lamp if you don't already have one. They need the uv for vitamin d3 and calcium uptake and maintenance. You can research online for uv and diet requirements for this little guy. That's if you plan to keep him long term.
