    It may die. But you could buy a glass aquarium with a mesh top. Put some of the grass from the pet store and some sticks and other hiding things in there. Get a heat or sun like bulb and put it in one of those clip lights. Put it on a timer. Make sure you buy a therm. for inside the take so you can watch the temp in there. Try feeding it mealworms or small crickets. Put a large flat rock in the tank under the lamp so the light will heat up the rock and the lizard can baske on it.

    My son has a leopard gecko.

    Check out some websites, too.
