Your basking bulb should be a bright white bulb like this
https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/environmental-control-and-lighting/exo-terra-intense-basking-spot-light-14809.html?cgid=500202 I would only use a 50 watt and make sure you have that digital probe I posted
Please no more super worms if they were too big and NO meal worms - the exoskeleton is too hard on the stomachs- get him some BSFL also known as calci worms phoenix worms or nutri grubs - make sure you have a glass or ceramic bowl so they cant get out
What are you using for a UVB --- I am assuming its a coil-- those are inadequate for larger tank - your going to need to invest in a tube fixture - like this
https://www.reptilesupplyco.com/wholesale-reptile-hoods-domes-fixtures/1884-reptisun-terrarium-hood-t5-24-zoo-med.html this is good for a 40+ gallon there is a 5.0 bulb that comes w/this fixture it would be good for a back up the distance would be different from the 10.0 bulb of which you would need for a bigger tank
https://www.reptilesupplyco.com/t5-uvb-bulbs/1878-reptisun-100-uvb-t5-ho-fluorescent-bulb-22-zoo-med.html you need this bulb --
Once you get your basking temps and UVB corrected hes going to start eating -- but for now work on your basking temps and work on getting your UVB that your going to need
Here is a website for nutrition ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder
http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html
If you need websites for worms / insects please let me know I can post some for you
in the meantime here is a site to order BSFL from
http://www.symptonbsf.com order large and do not dust them they are calcium enriched
You can move him to a large tote as well - just make sure your basking bulb is not anywhere near the plastic so it does not melt - the UVB would not get hot enough to do that - you can use the new UVB fixture on the larger tote as well - just keep us updated and we can help you
