Welcome to the forums. Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your baby. For right now I would recommend you give him as much outside time as you can in a screen cage in the shade of course where you can keep him in the very low 80's. Natural UV works wonders for these guys. Sometimes new UVB light are too much for them and it can bother their eyes so I'd leave all lights off of him for a day or two and see if that helps. You shouldn't be holding him to feed him and babies should be kept in a very small enclosure. Also you should get him some fruit flies. You can see a picture in this link of my baby bins in post #2.
