By hot spot, do you mean his basking area?

Id say he needs a hotter basking area. 130 under the lamp. Sounds like he's having trouble digesting

If by hot spot you mean basking spot then that should be up to 130-140 and you need accurate temps and seem the temp gradient from one side of the tank to the other should get a temp gun you can get them for like 20 bucks. Def increase it if your talking about basking spot
