: seems special whatever I can do, Some one told me they like carrots,,I grated him some, he ate them is this good???HELP

Check out those pages mentioned in earlier posts. If you are going to use a hot rock (I would not reccommend unless it is below 70 & you have no ceramic bulb for heat) but if you must, cover it with a towel or other cloth to prevent nasty burns. You need the reptile UV light, vitamins, & a few of the following (collard/mustard greens, escarole, watercress, sweet potato, green beans, squash) The collard or mustard are more vital than the rest, although a diversity is best. I'd give him a nice bath to clean him up & apply anibiotic ointment to the tail.
