If you're going to keep it, house it in a minnium tank of 10 gallons. Suitable substrates are sand, plantation soil with no fertelizers, fir bark chips, constructive cork, and a reptile specific carpet. Feed it small mealworms, crickets, fruitflies, and even small waxworms. Give it cork rounds and tiles along with slate or sandstone slabs. Offer it a food dish with crested/day gecko food (they will it it) and a shallow water dish. Temps should be 75-85 F ambient with a hotspot of 90-97 F. The heat should be from a UTH mounted on a side of the tank. For the wound, apply Silvidine on a Q-tip. No extra UV light is needed, but if you want to grow.plants, you will need a growlight made for plants. Also provide a piece of driftwood or Mopani wood for a shelter and something to climb on.
Hope this helps,
Brian
