The basking area should be closer to 110. What size and type of enclosure is he in? I would forget about Kale. None of mine like it. I've had the best luck with romaine and mustard greens but babies generally eat mostly bugs.

How does he act? I'm a little concerned he is stressed because he really should be eating.
