How has the weather been? Sometimes poor weather or fronts moving through can cause them to bunker down a bit. How long do you have his lights on during the day?

It's been sunny for the past few weeks with an exemption woth a few rainy days, his light are on from 7 am to 8 pm

What season is it where you live (spring ? or autumn ?) ?

13 hrs is way too short , I recommend nudging this up 2 - 3 hours per day.

Can you tell us what his UV source is and how old it is ?
ie
is it a compact (brand ? wattage and %UVB and how is it mounted and how far from his basking spot) ?
is it a tube (T8 or T5 ? %UVB and brand ? how is mounted and how from his basking spot)?
Is the UV source sitting ontop of a mesh lid ?
is it a MVB , and is it sitting on top of a mesh lid ?

It is spring, my uvb is a t5ho 10.0 reptisun fluorescent tube, mounted 7 inches over his basking spot, it has a reflector and there is no screen. I bought the bulb around Christmas time

Anytime! Keep us updated on his condition

I took him out of his enclosure for like an hour he was running around exploring and he pooped on me then he ate 10 crickets, now he's in his hut again. Could he be bored?

i think he was bored, i don't blame them being a tank for to long

I agree .... they do get bored, all mine demand time out and they all demand their mummy and daddy snuggles too.

When I had 6 lizards ( 3 skinks (Wriggles, George & Mildred) + 3 beardies (Rex , Peppa and Toothless) I was spread pretty thin (snuggles wise....always in demand (by the lizards).

Were the skinks as active as the beardies?

Oh yeh .... even though the bluetongues are pretty old , and Wriggles the water skink was really old for a water skink , they very all just as demanding as the beardies , wanting adventure and explore time , snuggles , attention .
