    FOLDED SKIN?? DEHYDRATION?? Please help!!!
    I have a young albino male, had him for over 3 weeks, he has not ate yet and his skin from his tail to almost his midsection seems to fold like creases on each side, is it because he has not ate? Maybe a sign of dehydration? (I keep a large water bowl and change it everyday with humidity at 50% constantly) should I be worried and take action or am I making a big fit for nothing. Please help

    Well, it could be nothing... pictures would help determine that.

    I don't believe he had these skin folds when I first got him 3 weeks ago. He hasn't ate since I got him, live or frozen. I change his water bowl daily and have sent him drinking.

    What type of setup does he have? What are his temperatures? What types and size of food are you offering? Do you know if he was eating for the person you purchased him from? Do you know how old he is? When/how are you offering food and how often?

    Have you been monitoring his weight?

    I think he really needs a meal. Get incontact with the seller and double check what, and how, they were feeding him.

    Okay, I just found your other thread where you're basically asking for the same information but have provided more to go on, so I will answer there.

    I would also soak him in the proper temp of water, I just sit at the bath tub with him in just enough water to cover him for like 30 60 min don't leave him alone.. I heat the bathroom to 80 s temp.
