was shipped, you never know what he went through. He may have been exposed to extreme heat, kicked around, etc. Heat or other trauma may have caused the condition. Obviously to be safe, you need to keep him away from any other reptiles. There is no way to know at this point what is going on with the poor little guy. It is easy to accuse the shipper, and he may be at fault. The problem is that you never know. The shipping company may have done this.
