Rescued Red Tegu

I need recommendations. I literally got this baby last night via Craigslist. It was pretty obvious when I got there that she was. It well cared for. She's missing almost all nails on her feet and her skin is super dull. She almost looks brown. She was kept in half of a 50 gal tank on cedar chips. No UVB, no soaking or water bowl at all, fed exclusively salmon, and is significantly overweight. Aside from the obvious hydration and nutrition what should my next steps be?

I work at a vet lol. Forgot to mention that. There aren't any reptile "specialists" in the area.

Unfortunately, these are the risks associated with such purchases. A visit to a vet that specializes in exotics is imperitave.

*Update* Emmure went to the vet and seems to be doing well. She's had a fractured jaw and tail in the past. But she seems to be ok in spite of that.
