Frilled Dragon, rescue number 38

Picked him up at noon; he is severely underweight with a bad shed 
At 4 pm, I gave him a bath and he drank

Wrapped him in a towel and put him under a heat light; he didn't move

Increased his humidity up to 80% and he seemed to relax some

At 10:30 pm, I found him on his side in his tank 
He was completely unresponsive 
He started doing his "death gasping" every few minutes

And then he was gone :(

Too little, too late, too far gone.

Two dead dragons in three days. I'm feeling raw and tired.
