Leopard Lizard Help 2 
I posted this in another forum,
But some kid brought a long nosed leopard lizard over to my house today, IN A WATER BOTTLE!!!!!,
And the poor thing is really skinny and I dont know what to feed it to fatten him up...
Any help would be greatly appreciated, by me and the lizard.

if he is really skinny i dont know that i would give a pinkie. I think that would be to much. I would go with crix, waxies etc., but i have been wrong once or twice in the past.

I am not a member of the Collard Lizard forum but decided to peek in here. By Leopard Lizard do you mean Leopard Gecko? I wouldn’t feed him a pinkie, that could cause death. I would try to fatten him up with a few waxworms each week and try a staple of superworms and mealworms. Temperatures need to be around 90 0n the hot side and the low 80’s for the cool side. Provide several hides and a water dish. Offer calcium and vitamins daily. I would take him to the vet. Could I see pictures.

Worms. Waxworms, butterworms, silkworms...those would be best if he needs to gain some weight. Depending on how he was looked after he may also be dehydrated. Is he drinking? You may want to add an electrolyte supplement to his water. I don’t know much about leopard lizards specifically but they may be picky about water like some collareds and not want to drink from a dish. In this case make sure you mist the enclosure a few times a day, he should lick the water up off of plants/rocks/whatever.
