Answer
Hello Trent,

Are you providing adequate UVB lighting for your monitor?  What type & brand of UVB are you using, is it a flourescent tube bulb or a compact or coil light?
What are you feeding him?  Is he well hydrated?
What are the temps in the tank, & what type of thermometer are you using?  Is it a stick on thermometer, a digital probe or a temp gun?
