I'd take him/her (and a fresh stool sample) to a qualified reptile vet ASAP.
What kind of things do you have in the cage? (ie: sand, newspaper, wood)
And what are you using to read the temp in the cage?
Good luck!!
I hope you two get through this.

You might consider raising the hot side to 90. If there is something wrong it will raise his immune system

Hes eating again!!!! I raised the temp. on the warm side and figured out that somehow my cat was getting onto the screen top,after I put a stop to that he started eating again and is now nicely shedding,I think it was the stress of the cat that did it,darn cat.....thank you so much for the info,,,I 've been reading that sand is not a good idea for bedding,any ideas of a good substrate?
