Hey all,

A tiny Axanthic male just came into my possession from a friend who didn't have the best husbandry practices. I plan on taking him to the vet ASAP but I am quite worried about him. She got him about a year ago, and at that time he was a hatchling so I assume he is about a year and a half old now. However, he is not even the width of my girlfriends thumb as you can see in the pictures. I don't have his weight since I don't want to stress him any more. She said that she was feeding him almost every week but I'm at a loss how he could still be so small. He has "dry" patches of scales that look deflated. He also has a few scales that are brown around the edges on his belly. I just wanted some opinions on what to do/what this might be.

Thanks all
