I have a 2 foot long black throat in a holding cage till I finish it's 8 by 8
The tank is small but the ambient is 85 soil is 80 and the basking spot is 130
I had it hotter but he would never use it I dropped the temp to 130 but he just hangs next to the light never getting above 95 him self (laser temp gun)
His humidity is around 80% I have about a week till his new cage is done but he has gone from 5 mice a day to 1 mouse a day any thoughts?

I would guess he is also less active. That would be the additional sign of being sick or dehydrated. Lower eating, less activity, and non-basking are the typical symptoms of sick reptiles. Although I think a skin temp of 95 is adequate, as you say, it's better if he got up to 108 or so once in a while. Your basking temps are right. I would take him to an exotics vet right away for a fecal test, x-rays, and blood test. In case he's sick, you want to take action now.
