There is a basking spot with temps between 110-115. He sits around the area. I do have a UVB coil bulb, but lately he's been sunning outside because it has been so nice. He never was an "active" one, and his personality hasn't changed except for the fact that he has no interest in food. He turns dark and just freezes every time I put him in his feeding aquarium and add crickets and yes, I do think he is going to shed again, but now it has been three full days with no food. He falls asleep earlier, around 6:00 p.m. now whereas he used to stay up till around 7:30 but I know it is because the days are shorter now.
Thanks for all your help. I do get a lot of info from this site...

make sure he is set for 14 hours of daylight in his enclosure, make sure also that he cant see any windows so he cant see it getting dark earlier, it could be even at that young age he is going to try and brumate, its not unheard of although rare. keep his temps proper and his enclsoure very BRIGHT. have you tried feeding him inside his enclosure? do you have a scale to weigh him?
