I can better help if you click quote, and fill from quote and post.

To me he looks a little dehydrated, he does need 12 hours light with UVB, per day, and climate permitting sunlight, as this is the best light..

However, make sure he has a basking area that is at least 85F and an area that is between 50-70F so he can move to cooler region.
