Just make sure his temp gradients are sufficient, and he's got ample humidity. I'd let him be for awhile too (less handling, unless it's absolutely necessary), so that he can acclimate to his enclosure and fix some of the "sick" he came to you with
More often nose rub than poor nutrition in regards to damage to the face/mouth leading to mouth rot...but poor nutrition/stress can be attributed to causing almost every health issue there is.
