Have a fecal test done by your vet. If your animal isn't eating, you really don't want to skip this suggestion.

Leave the animal alone for several days, do not attempt to handle.

Make sure animal has access to fresh, clean, water.

Check your husbandry once again; animal should have a hide area where it can completely conceal itself - meaning you can't see it. Basking area that reaches between 120 and 140 degrees.

Remove feces immediately from the enclosure along with the substrate it was deposited on. (But hang onto some of that poop to give to your vet)
