You could also take him to where you got him they may be able to help too

I found an exotic vet very close to me so Im considering taking him there. But he isn't eating much and he's never had worms so I'm going to try those and see if he likes them better.

[Crum]

Yea that may help..
You could also go to like petsmart or something and pick up some vitamins, if you havent already

Vitamins? How will they help? (Mean that curiously, not sarcastically)

[Crum]

They can do all sorts of things, depending on what type you get.
Calcium is Good for their bones (I use that sometimes) but really you will just have to look around to see what each type does.

Look around on these pages to see what petco and petsmart have to offer..

Thanks. I just put in a better lightbulb and I got fewer crickets so they won't die as fast and I also got mealworms to see how he likes those. I also noticed that he has lots of...waste..,stuck to his vent. I put home in the water and that helps some put what else could I do because I think he having trouble going to the bathroom. Could that be what's wrong with him?

Sometimes local vets will deal with reptiles without broadcasting it, I'd call around too.

Perhaps that might help

Got dustin a nice fake plant and some calcium today

Doesn't matter. He just died about 3-4 hours ago.

I use carpet too...
I know they aren't supposed to be in cold places, but they are fine if you are holding them as you are very warm. They are from a desert and it gets to be like 40 degrees (F) at night so it's ok...

Remember in the wild they also have the choice to go into their warm underground hides if they get too cold ;3

Guh, I can't decide between a timor monitor and a tokay gecko. The monitor's the one I actually want, and they're supposed to be "easy for monitors", so I don't know if I should go with the gecko first to get my feet wet with nasty lizards or if I want a baby timor. Sigh, so many choices.

I'm not sure a tokay would really do anything to prepare you for a monitor. A nasty tokay and nasty monitor act totally different.
