His basking temp is around 115-120, But come to think of it, I haven't given him his weekly soaking in a while, Is that the issue?

That should help with the impaction. Does the person who is buying it know the condition it's in?

What are you keeping it on? I have kept three red ackies before, never had any issues. I had 10 inches of 50/50 sand/dirt with a lot of climbing and hiding room. Also I had a tub in there full of clean water at all times.

KInda sad by the sound of it , no way u should be selling this animal, dont mean to be a jerk man but damn. Sounds like u should take it to a VET ASAP.
