We purchased a new 4 week old from a reputable reptile/aquarium store. We put him in his terrariam and he wasn't overly active. Was sitting at the lowest point not basking with his eyes closed. I offered greens and put drops of water on his nose but nothing. He slept and woke this morning perkier but then resumed sleeping on sitting with his eyes closed. I keep trying to return him to his basking spot but he only stays for a few minutes and then jumps down near the bottom of the tank and closes his eyes.
I've given him a bath tonhysrate and even tried feeding him a slurry (just some drops on his nose)...he would touch tiny crickets or a very small silkworm I had. He's not basking and is just lying there. I've called the store and they said tonsee how he is in a day or two. I know moving and a new environment is stressful but I'm worried. They said see how he is over the next day or so and if he's the same bring him back. His UV is direct...his temp for his basking area was 103-104...so I added a component to raise it and it's almost 110. Thoughts?
