Hatchling Crested Gecko Health Question

Hi! I recently adopted two hatchling crested geckos (they're about 3 weeks old). The larger of the two (named Mocha) is 3 grams and very energetic, and the smaller (Cappucino) is 2 grams and was fairly lethargic when I brought him home. They were kept together in a small Kritter Keeper, and I've since separated them to allow space to grow. My concern is that Cappucino's skin looks very wrinkly in person, and he's very pale compared to Mocha, so I'm not sure if he's getting ready to shed or if he's dehydrated. I've attached some pictures to try and show how he looks currently. Hopefully I'm just being an overprotective gecko mom, but I wanted to check here first. image.jpg

Doesn't appear dehydrated or sickly to me. I'd just allow them time to settle in. Keep the humidity up an extra little bit for them. Hatchlings are more susceptible to dehydration.
