Hey does anyone how long a gar can go with out water? I just can home to my 16" spotted gar tacky/dry to the touch sitting on my floor. I put em back and held em up right doing back and forth. He is up right on his own but I'm concerned about things like his eyes being too dry and where sucked into his head a bit.....

Keep your eye on him making sure the gills are functioning properly, and check its buoyancy to see if it comes to the top on its own. As far as his eye's they will probably get back to normal after some time.
