This guy has been getting wrinkly, making me think it could need water or is splitting, I've never seen it split before so I'm not sure.

It is sooooo thirsty. Put it in a dish of water and let it sit for at least 30 mins
Personally, I would not place any mesemb in a tray of water. Instead, remove the plant from its container and gently shake off any excess grit. Take a pic of the root system and post here.
Your lithops has an infestation of scale, use a q-tip with isopropyl alcohol to wipe them off. Also it looks like there is a new set of leaves inside getting ready to come out, unless this was a severely etiolated lithops that is now really thirsty, but I’m leaning towards splitting
My friend your lithops has scale.

Use diluted isopropyl alcohol and rub them off with a q-tip! Or use an insecticidal soap but be careful about getting water inside the fissure.
Looks like its splitting? Don’t water
