Thanks all. My husband just told me that he watched it move early in the morning and it looked like it kept collapsing in itself every now and then, so he made sure it was in a warm enough spot and the water dish was full. I'm not blaming the seller, as the other 2 arrived in perfect health, but considering that it looked dead on arrival and seemed quite weak, I think it just wasn't ready to travel yet (it looked freshly molted) and maybe got too cold and/or dry in transit.
