When you say you raised the temps to 80 is that the basking spot? The hot spot in the cage should be closer to 90F and 75 to 80 for the ambient temp. Also the bathing isnt really necessary I dont think. They are from a dry place, If you feel like its helping for now thats fine but I wouldnt continue it. If you get the heat up though that should increase his metabolism help him eat again. And Instead of using a calcium dish I would just dust the crickets 2times a week. This way you can make sure he gets the it, and also if they were to eat to much thats not good either. Also keep in mind with the eating thing that it isnt very uncommon for leos to go off feed for a few weeks. espescially in the winter. I have a few every winter that will only eat 3 or 4 crickets for a few weeks and never have a problem. anyways I am no expert but I have been keeping leos for quite a few years so I figured I would try and help. good luck!
