Scoly question.

I tried to take a pic but I can't upload for sone reason. Anyway I just got my scoly Tuesday and it looks great, anyhow today it looks deflated and I can see the skeleton under the flesh and the mouth is open a little. Last night I was FAT and open, I may be paranoid. Let me know what you think.

If you wanna upload pictures to the site go to Photobucket.com. It is free and very easy. You upload the image and copy the link then paste it in your reply. Anyhows with the Scoly that is totally normal. In a few hours it will probably be plump again. If not don't worry it's just getting used to your water conditions. If you start to see the skeletal structure tear thru the flesh then there may be problems. Try to take a pic if you can. Take care

I agree with the others. My 2 scolys deflate at least once a day, usually in the early evening.

Here is an old picture (they are still alive) of one which is fully deflated and the other starting out.


Hope that helps
