this is a Uro i picked up at a show a few weeks ago, was eating fine then all of a sudden stoped, after a few days home i noticed what looks like a old injury that healed over but came back,on the right seide of his body you can see it run almost all the way down,then on the left side of his head.

hes getting thinner and doesnt move to mych,temps are fine at 130F but moved his light to bring it down as it looks like it may be irratting his wounds.

any idea's what this could be and id it may have something to do with not eating. *dial up warning-1600X1200 macro's*

I do not really know what that could be, but given the overall picture you have painted I would definitely take him in for a visit to your friendly local herp vet, pretty much as soon as possible. Because your friend is somewhat new you probably want to have a fecal done to make sure you are not dealing with anything else. Plus make sure that that is a scar, and not an active "something".

Maybe some of the other people about will have more definitive ideas, but I hope that helps.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Yes, I vet visit! He's too thing and getting lethargic. May want to try feeding a mixture of baby food and pedialyte to try and get him going again. Definately address it, though
