V. rudicollis are almost always extremely dehydrated after import, I would ditch the breeder tank and set up a quarentine/hydration chamber.For an exellent description of how to set one up go to www.treemonitors.com and check out their quarentine section.
I am currently getting a group together and am using these set ups for quarentine with great results.
Please remember to treat this animal like it just went through the ringer and is lucky to be alive, 'cause if it is a fresh import, it is.
