if you can pick it up without any struggle & it just sits limp in your hands ,
then its probably not long for this world.
hows your temps & humidity ?
when did it last eat ?
did you get it through the post ?

Personally I'd keep them warmer but 22C shouldn't kill one off. As with anything there's no guarantee that young will survive. Get yourself some adults, they're a lot more hardy.
