weird behavior

[thacarter]

just got a bd about a month ago, he has been acting weird lately, not eating much crickets, not moving around as much and just looks sick, he just had his first shed and is not totally done with it, also i was reading about "stress marks" and he has those on his underside for the first 3 weeks or so he would eat 12-20 crickets daily, he is about 10 weeks now. temp is 105 in the basking using the acurite thermometer i see alot of people on here use, my house is kept at 64 degrees so i am using a 75 watt and a 100 watt to get that 105 temp, starting to get worried. i know that i need to switch out his UVB light with a reptisun 10.0, just waiting to do that because i am going to build a new cage soon and will get the 36 inch which will not fit on this cage, right now he has the reptisun 10.0 coil that the pet store sold me because i was stupid and bought their "kit", should i just turn it off and go with out the uvb or just live with this one for another couple weeks, i am starting to get worried, any advice?

Is there any way you can just get the 36" light you'll use on your new enclosure and somehow rig it up over the current one, even though it doesn't fit exactly? I mean if he's in a tank and it's too small for a lid with the light to fit, you could just lay it across the top and if it hangs over the edge for a while, so what?

Oh and what are your temps (basking and cool side)? Temp has a lot to do with their appetite and activity levels.

Oops just re-read and realized you put the basking temp. Sry.

It is the coil bulb!! I would recommend turning it off until you get the reptisun 10.0 UVB !! Also try to get him some natural sun light!! Good luck..
