new boy is skinny and has bad skin

[jitami]

From the picture, he does look thin... but could be a ribbon, too. Tough to say from the pic. Do you have a thermometer in his tank? If he's enjoying the basking light, and it's not over 90ish under the light, it's fine, especially since you've seen him drinking.

As for the weird movement... these guys do some weird things... is he still behaving oddly?

I havn't seen him act weird again, but i did try the wet pillowcase and it didn't seem to help with his dry patches. I'm beginning to really wonder about him. His 3rd quarter of his body is bumpy. I don't know if its the dry skin or if he in fact has something UNDER his skin.

I've taken a picture. It's not very good though, with his wriggling and the bad lighting.

Are the bumps on the spine or along the sides? Try to get another photo, that would really help. I'm not sure it's in the picture for you but a check-up at a reliable reptile Vet. is a good idea.
