sounds like you need humidity/I would soak this lizard in a sink or water of temps of luke warm and soak him for a few mins at a time and do it several times a day until. problem is solved as far as not eating possible force feeding could be the answer! hope this helps CHIP!

What type of uv light are you using? The compact bulbs are causing similiar problem in other animals. Really the only good bulbs out there right now for lizards are the long tubes: reptiSUN 10.0 and reptiGLO 8.0. If you do have a compact bulb then turn off the light immediately, get a good tube light, and put the light on him after a couple of days and you should see him start to improve. If he doesn’t improve then maybe a vet visit is in order. Keep us updated.
