I'm not terribly familiar with basilisks, but your best bet is to wait a couple days without feeding him, because like you said, he's stressed. Just leave him completely alone, sometimes it can take up to a month for a new animal to get settled in.
As far as lights and temp, it usually helps if you list them anyway. Sometimes people get the wrong info from the petstore and find out that they're keeping their critter too cool How big is the basilisk and how big is his new home?

318 pairs of ribs.
In stating this I place reliance
On a seance with one who died for science
This figure is sworn to and attested,
He counted them while being digested."
