(#*$ Help!

[SerpentLust]

Ugh I don't know what's going wrong here. As most of your corallus forum readers know, my female ATB died. And now it's looking like my male is now doing well...

Hot spot temp is at 88, Humidity is sitting at a nice 60%, I spray three times a day, his water bowl is more than large enough for him to soak if he ever did. He has enough folliage to perch on and feel secure and not out in the open. He has a ground hide.

He was perfectly fine, my female died and now all of a sudden, he looks so bad.

It looks to me like he's dehydrated. I've seen him drinking water from his bowl. He's off feed now too. His skin is wrinkling and he's getting dry, looking like he's going to shed. But he looks like he's losing weight (and he doesn't have much to lose as he's young). He hasn't eaten now since 06/18/2004.

I dont know what to do, the husbandry is perfect, well, it's good anyways. Nothing's perfect. I don't want to lose another Amazon, I adore them.

Should I start pedialite do you think? Regardless of the higher ambient humidity, it'll do no good if he's dehydrated. If I should do pedialite, how much do I give him? I'd have to syringe it as he's not eating so I can't fill a mouse with it.

Help would be greatly appreciated and needed. I'm at a loss. And not to sound pathetic and self pitying, but I feel like a crappy keeper, how can BOTH my Amazons become unhealthy? Urgh, well he's not dead and I don't want him to be. Help is good...
