Hi, how long have you had the monitor and can you show the whole enclosure and give details of the conditions? Without having that information it`s impossible to say what the reason/s might be.

I've had him for 7 months he's in a 120 gallon tank I have 3 sides blocked from view for his comfort he has a basking spot of 120 a cool side 3 hides a basking branch and deep soil he's been in his hide most of the time comes out to bask then goes back in and his appetite has slowed slot
