His beard hasn't been black . His head isn't in bad condition, but I can still see where he got bit. He does eat , he eats lettuce
<<< lettuce is a very poor food choice.
& crickets . Here's a picture of his tank & of him . His head looks black bc the soil sticks on the medicine . As you can see his eyes are closed . The whole time I hold him he barely opens his eyes ..
First up - get rid of the black soil you are using for his bedding, it's a huge impaction risk should he accidentially eat it stuck to his food.
And it's virtually impossible to keep the tank hygienic with that stuff as his bedding.
Replace with either loose laid ceramic tiles and or paper towelling or newsprint.
2nd -
you need to take him to see a vet as a matter of urgency so the vet can examine his injury, clean it up if it's full of puss, and get him onto antibiotics if he needs them , this also is important because if he's been bitten by a cat there are nasty germs on a cat's teeth that are very hard to kill off.
Since he's already showing he's sick, any infection he has got a powerful grip on him and he will not recover without a vet's help.
What are the tank temps :
>>> basking spot temp ?
why isn't the hide under the basking light ? since you have no higher perches for him near the lamp.
>>> warm zone temp ?
>>> cool zone temp ?
>>> how long are his basking and UV light on each day ?
>>> overnight temps he's exposed to ?
What UV lighting do you have ? Insufficient UVA will result lethargy and a lack of apetite. Insufficient UVB will result in poor metabolisation of dietary calcium to VitD and poor bones and stunted growth.
If he's too cold he can't metabolise his food and will be very lethargic.
what is that red pellet like stuff in the bowl ?
Are you feeding him live crickets and other HIGH QUALITY feeder insects at least twice per day?
I'd be feeding him these THREE times per day , as many as he'll eat.
