Sick , stress or something else ?

[Beledorus]

Hello
Just lately I'm worried about my little boy, for last 3 weeks he got no appetite ( he still eats something but just once per day) . I've changed his decorations and lighting ( changed MVB on normal UVB and heat lamp). He doesn't move much, looks tiered , laying flat on his belly most of the time and his lack of appetite stressing me out. When he walks he drags his belly on the ground but sometimes walk normal. Today he just managed to few one hoppers (Locus) .. Also got abit older female and she's completely fine- eating like there's no tomorrow .
I'm doing something wrong ?
Using :
Arcadia ProT5 12% 39w
Exo Terra sun glo 50w
Temperature :
Basking spot 40'C ( Using dimming thermostat)
Warm side 35'C
Cool side 28'C
He's 15 weeks old /32g
Calcium ( Calci-Dust )

Is he eating at all? The locust are how big --- they should not be bigger than the space between his eyes? Is he eating any salads at all? The sunglo is a bright basking light or a yellowish color? He going thru relocation stress so its good he is eating -- is he basking and active?

He's eating, but not much ( dosent lost weight but didn't gain anything).
Basking light is kind of yellow but bulb is white. He doesn't eat anything big and he still pooping .
He's Basking but is no active at all.

If the basking bulb is not a bright white I would get one--- yellowish bulbs dont do what they need to do as far as digestion -- what is he eating? How are you getting the basking temps? The hammock will throw the IR gun off if your using one of those and all I see in the tank is stick on -- those are inaccurate --- you need a digital probe thermometer for accurate temps- place it on the hammock where he sits for basking

For basking temp using 1 digital / thermostat thermometer . Using thermogun. He's eating crickets, Locusts, dubia roaches no bigger than 1cm ( space between his eyes). I've removed hammock 2 weeks ago , he is kind of to small for it.

So hes eating basking and is he active? If hes doing all these things I would say hes still going thru relocation stress w/ the stress marks- as long as hes doing all these things plus pooping he just needs to acclimate to his surroundings --- give him some time --- its when they arent doing anything I mentioned above is when to get worried -- as long as your basking temps are good and the UVB is also a good one and placed properly in the tank you should be good then --

He's basking but not much active - looks depressed most of the time. Its over 3 weeks... he shouldn't be already used to new surrounding?

Sometimes it takes longer for some I need ahbd to see what she thinks is going on--

Hi there, sorry your baby's having trouble. Is he from a breeder or a pet store ? BTW the basking bulb is fine, it's not actually a yellow bulb. Have you seen him drink any ? Try dripping water on his snout slowly to give him a chance to drink, he may be dehydrated. One more thing, how far is the Arcadia uvb ?

Hey. His drinking every day at morning- with syringe. He also got small water dish but not using that much.
Uvb is 12 inches above basking spot.
Want to take him to vet but asap appointment is on 22nd November... kind of surprised that it's not so many exotic vets in Edinburgh :/

O.K, hydration and uvb sounds good. Make sure to get a fecal sample for the vet just in case he has parasites.

Was thinking that might be parasites. Poop looks fine but everything else matches symptoms.
