I saw him on Friday; he is not in "that" bad of shape, but definately dehydrated; pretty wrinkly skin.. but his muscle tone is not lost, and he is definately not limp or baggy or showing any other real signs of starvation.. But, the skin on his nose is bad. It is peeled up a little and you can see a tiny bit of proud flesh underneath; maybe half a centimeter.. he is in blue right now, and I am afraid that the nose will get rubbed more when he tries to shed.. bad eyecaps too. I advised my friend to keep his humidity up, and keep him hydrated; he was in a CRAPPY 30g long tank with cedar shavings, with a HUGE red lightbulb lamp that is the size that rock bands use in their stage shows.. and no water.
She put some neosporin on the exposed flesh, but it was a bit tough because it's in between his nostrils and we didn't want to suffocate him.. hard to explain, but the skin around his nose is "built up" almost like there were hardened salt crystals or something; I gently removed some (staying away from the proud flesh) so that his nostrils would be more exposed, and he is not wheezing and his mouth is not mucousey.
Yet he is still not in as bad of shape as I thought he would be, besides the dehydration.. hopefully he sheds out good.. the nose rubs were from a horrible homemade screen lid with gaps about half an inch wide.
