Answer
Hello Ruby,

Are you using a UVB light & if so, what type & brand do you use?  
How old is the UVB light if you are using one?  
The basking temperatures need to be in a range of 95-110 with a cool end of 78-82.  
What type of thermometer are you using?  
What is his age now?  They can slow down during the fall & winter time months for their brumation phases.  
Do you have any pictures of him?
