The easiest type of veges that every grocery store is garenteed to have are frozen mixed veges. Buy the bag with peas, carrots, corn, green beans, and lima beans. Use the carrots sparingly (I'm not sure why, but when people say that a food should be used sparingly, it usually means that there are vitamins that can block other necessary vitamins, ie: spinach binds calcium leading to bone disease).
Also, take a walk around your neighborhood and pick some dandilion flowers. See how responcive he is to the flower. Usually this should perk them right up.
Lastly, if you know your tank is set-up propperly, at least 3 by 2 feet serface area, and the temps are right, with stacked rocks under the basking bulb to create a gradient of heat, then it is something internal. Dehydration and parasites are two obvious options. Whole peas have a large ammount of moisture, especially the frozen ones that have been defrosted in water. Make sure it isn't a choking hazard (not larger than the space between the eyes) and give him a bunch. Worms are not hard to treat, and if you haven't de-wormed him ever, then NOW's the time. Even if he never had worms before, he can get them through the produce you feed him (rare but true). There are a good amount of postings about worms, so read up.
Good Luck!
