get him to a vet, sounds like there is some serious dehydration. what size tank, substrate, basking spot, cool side, food, how long have you had him, size, age, species?

Try posting over at Bluetongueskinks.net.

Don't post elsewhere as NomadOfTheHills said, it seems like dehydration, get it into a vet. If you need to wait a good idea would be to soak him in a bath of lukewarm for short periods of time to try get some fluids back into it

Bluetongueskinks.net has a much faster forum, frequented by many BTS rehabilitators from Australia. It is a MUCH better place to post than here.
