ok i know i said i was done with this thread, but here are some updated pictures, a week (give or take) later. I think he looks a ton better, he is drinking and eating regularly and i just got done soaking him and was getting redy to feed him. I know the fight for this guy isnt over, but its alot better than when i got him. Unlike the first set of pictures he is no longer just laying in my hand and playing dead, he likes to crawl around on my hang on my shirt and has burrowed himself a nice little cave in his tank. He hides in it most of the day ambients are in the mid 80s and the sand temp where his burrow is is in the low 90s, but when i open the top up he pokes his little head out and just watches me. He seems to trust me alot more than my water, he is a big turd lol
sorry for the crappy pics, its from my phone and he def wasnt cooperating lol
