Help new dragon seems stressed

Okay, my new beardie is 81 grams. Got him on 12/10/11 from a reputable breeder. He was 77 grams. He is in a 30L aquarium for now. I wrapped that aquarium decor around the back and sides of the tank for now to give him some privacy. Substrate is indoor/outdoor green carpeting. Temps are staying at around 87 on the hot end with a basking spot of between 105 and 110 degrees and 77 to 78 degrees on the cool end. Night temps stay in the low to mid 70's. He has a rock cave on each end of the tank and gets on top and lays down to bask. He gets fresh greens/veggies every morning that I mist very well with water so he can lick the water off along with some repcal juvenile bearded dragon food that I soak in a mix of water and juice. I lightly dusk both with calcium powder. I keep fresh water in the tank at all times, spot clean daily, and mist him with water twice a day. In the evening about 3 hours before bed time, I put him in a tub with some dubia and let him eat all he wants till he stops eating. I give him a warm bath 2 times per week. Each day he seems less active, kinda laying around and under his cave and has the stress marks on his belly and beard. I've put him in a more quiet area of the house and have hung a little camo cover on the front of his tank now to try and make him even more secure. His lights are on a timer to go off at 8 pm and come on at 7 am. Tonight he wouldn't eat any of the dubia and he has ate every night. He shed the day after we got him and has pooped everyday and it looks normal. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'm very open to constructive critism!!! I just want my little boy to be healthy and happy!!!
