UVB brand and bulb -- NO coils--- post a pic of the tank please and lighting -- what are your basking temps? NO stick ons--- if your tank is short in height a T 8 would be better like AHBD suggested

Which parasites did they treat him for?
I agree, males can act awfully crazy during the spring & summertime season.
The tube bulb is how far from your boy? If you are using a T5 you wont be able to use a
T8 bulb, but you can upgrade from a 5% to a 10% bulb, if it's a T5.
Are you using a nice bright basking light mounted directly beside the tube bulb?

I did get a new UVB, it's the 10.0 t5 reptisun. I didn't see your posts guys ?. But I don't really think it's improving him much.
I got him an LED for the cool side to brighten it up. This doesn't really allow him to hide as easy anymorejust f. Usually that would make him very annoyed, but yesterday he just kind of accepted it lol.
Yesterday he wasn't anywhere near as frantic. He did wall sirf and all that, just not as long or the same intensity. He did Blackbeard a bit. He actually basked, and kept himself fairly warm. No food. He's pooped the last 3 days despite not eating for 4.
This morning, he still wall and glass surfed, but again, not at a super high intensity. He's not Blackbearding today though, apart from a faint one earlier on. Still no interest in food
