    Hi,

    I think he needs to see a vet as well. :(

    These lists should help you find a local one with any luck;

    List 1.

    List 2.

    And even vets recomended personally by our members.

    keep us posted on how he turns out and best wishes for his swift recovery.

    He looks really dehydrated. Those also look like burns.

    Soak him, put him on newspaper and go to the vet.

    He needs fluids though.

    i just wanted to thank everyone for there help but he didnt make it! he actually died not 30 minutes after i took those pictures. and i dont think it was scale rot nor burns. first off because he shed two days before in my care and as far as the burns he didnt have any when we got him and he couldnt have burnt himself in my care because he didnt have a heat pad!


    but thank you all for the help

    The female he was with didn't constrict him, did she? Those looked kind of like bruises on him..

    I would contact the seller and ask why he's so thin and dehydrated.
