I hear chronic dehydration is a major problem in captive reptile, especially one that doesn't drink from a bowl like tokays. How did you give water to him?

Another problem i see with large enclosure is that they don't get enough heat. Not enough heat and high humidity can can cause respiratory infection.

I don't know I'm going out on a limb, here. But so sorry for your lost!
