I moved him a small bit so his head is up now but other than that he is the same and still hasn’t eaten.

The one that I got is very small maybe only 4 or 5 inches and in the store he seemed very active and the owner let me handle and feed him and he seemed to be doing great. However now at home he does not move hardly ever he barely ever even opens his eyes. He seems extremely lethargic.
<<< may be too hot or too cold .
Please double check your temperatures (all of them using a good digital thermometer) .
I tried giving him some fruits and vegetables and he had no interest and then I tried introducing some small crickets like what they had me do in the store and he had a small interest in them but didn’t end up actually going for any crickets. So he hasn’t eaten or drank anything.
<<< he needs live insects at least twice per day (as many as you can get him to eat per session).
I'd be giving him insects chosen from
Housefly maggots - very good staple feeder for small hatchlings (don't need to be dusted or gutloaded)
Blowfly maggots - see above
white instar blacksoldier fly lavae - see above
small silkworms ( about 1" long ) see above - best fed using silkworm chow or fresh mulberry leaves.
1/4 to 1/3 size crickets (need to be gutloaded and dusted daily)
similar sized roaches (see above)
similar sized locusts (see above)
If he shows no interest in the fruit and salad at this stage , no big deal , he needs insect protein and lots of it when this young.
One time I moved him and he climbed into his water bowl and pooped and then stopped moving again so I’m just a bit worried. He’s in a 20 gallon tank with the cold side sitting at about 80 degrees and the warm side
<<< good air temperature for COOL ZONE.
between 95-100 degrees
<<< good air temperature for WARM ZONE & BASKING SPOT
and I’m struggling to get it any higher than that[/color]. He has a 75 watt basking bulb and a 13 watt UVB
<<< is worthless , especially since it's a bad brand.
High output bulb both are what the tank he’s in came with.
The humidity level is about 35-40%
<< is fine
and I have the carpet as a substrate
<< I'd replace with paper toweling
along without some fake plants and hiding places and a basking rock. I tried feeding live small crickets,
dried bearded dragon food pellets
<<< give the pellets to the insects to feed them
, and moist pellets,
<<< ditch the moist pellets , they are not a good food for any lizard.
and fruits and vegetables and he has no interest. I’m just worried I may be doing something wrong? He is very small and I don’t wanna risk loosing him
