I am glad he found such a nice rescuer!

I would avoid kale (collards, mustard, dandelion, turnip greens are a better choice) You can also use some escarole/endive and watercress in your salad sprinkled with squash and a little fruit (melon, berries, mango)

Zoomed Reptisun 5 is a good UVB choice. He also needs a heat light. You can get the Reptisun online at LLLreptile.com or Herpsupplies.com for a better price than petstores.

You can use a harness, although igs are a pain if they freak and decide to gator-roll or run. I suggest keeping him up higher outside where he feels safer (like on a table) and having him on a leash-- watch him when he gets figity, take him back inside. There is no substitute for natural unfiltered sunlight. Give him a daily bath/ mist him several times per day.

Good luck to you. ;-)
