"Earth tiger" anyone?

Not familiar with this species, it was given to me. Is it a phormingochilus sp rufus?
It could be, but that's not the best quality pic to be able to ID it. There are a number of "earth tiger" species out there. They are mostly from Asia, often arboreal with a tendency to burrow at the base of a vertical surface (tree trunk), and are moisture dependent. This specimen is very thin - it needs access to clean water and a meal!
 
Absolutely. I rehoused it (arboreally) as soon as I could and it faceplanted into the water dish. I was so happy!
 
I will upload the picture i caught while it was drinking water. Besides that, i just cant get a good pic because of the abdomen's size
