I do not know whether they absorb through the skin, but they are not like amphibians... they do drink.

I would NOT force water on him right now. He needs to be warmed up, I think. Do you have him in his viv? What is the temperature there?

all day.....

Well, it is not temp then. Perhaps you could lightly mist his body, without getting water on his head... is there a reason you think he is dehydrating?

Since he has been warm all day, it is possible that this is a spinal injury. If so, it may improve with another day or two of rest, or it may be permanent.
