Ok so more of a "bought out of bondage" than a rescue. Went to get this guy yesterday. Saw it on CL posted as a Burm in an 80gl tank. It was this guy in a 55 and I saw his/her back in the photo and knew what had to be done......

The conditions he was living in was a 55 w/screen top, Carefresh bedding and a large live rat just chilling in the corner. No heat what so ever. When I got there he was soaking in his water and it was room temp in an outdoor "office". His external body temp was a smoking hot 65!!!

He needs to shed something fierce. Skin is super wrinkly but he's also pretty under weight. I have two concerns.
1)What the hell do I do about this insane injury? I was told it was done by a rat about 3 weeks ago. The guy was treating it with vaseline!!!! I've put some topical mild steroid I had left over from a lizard rescue.
2) He's been standing up with his nose against the top of the cage for like 5 hrs straight just swaying back and forth. The light has been off (on for the pic), is it just stress?
