I think everyone has made great points and all of you are right. So just consider parisites and dehydration both equally important then add the proper humidity and heat requirements of the peach throat and we have a healthy lizard.
I was told by the original person he/she had a background in reptile keeping so figured it was needles to give him/her a class but to inform him/her that these have a reputation for having a parasite problem, and stated due to importers claiming to be more affected by them than your average lizard. I hope that anyone with a skinny lizard has the first thought of rehydrating.
I have tried to save many lizards in the past and have found when they are weak and unable to open their eyes, most of the time it is too late unless you force feed. Then still at that a high chance of death.
