sounds like he is dry..very dry..maybe underfed or doesn't feed?.....

you use a light or heat pad?...

......anyways.......it needs moisture........soak it for an hour in warm water.....remember.if it's warm to you it's hot to him.......we are 98.6 degrees inside an they like it cooler than that.like 85.....

....soak...then ......well..........we don't know the substrate or tank/ box size......

damp paper towels works till it sheds........
