that does look like a nasty wound....as long as it doesn't really interfere with his movement, for example injury to the spinal cord, he should do fine...it will take a number of sheds to completely heal over...will leave a nasty scar. As for feeding, get some feeder fish, guppies, minnows. worms are fine, but aren't overly nutritional....you would need to dust a couple with vitamin powder every other week or so...also, worms are mostly water, so they will mess up the cage real fast!!! good luck and keep us posted!!!
