I would personally wait to soak him until after he tries to shed. Soaking right before a shed will also make it wonky, then only the stomach will come off.
Haha Ive done that but I thought he just dried up extra fast or something that I did was wrong for him

To me it looks like he may have already shed but the whole thing is stuck.

He doesn't look too awful skinny, but he could stand to gain a few grams. Just keep feeding him an appropriate sized rat every week and he will fill out just fine. I'll also agree with him looking dry.
One thing I do have to ask... Are you keeping him on that sand?

P.S. I think his weight looks alright, and the wrinkly skin must've just been from the impending shed... does it look better now? He is a bit small for a 2010, but I have one the same age who isn't much bigger! Mine was a slow starter, hatching as a runt & refusing to eat for 2 months, but he's slowly catching up with the others. So don't worry, just feed him normally & he'll be plump in no time.
