Can you tell us a little bit about your set up? Lights, watts, what he was eating, how long you've had him, if anything new had changed, what kind of set up, housed alone, etc. Pictures of him and his set up will help us help you.

It's virtually impossible to diagnose over the internet. Just guesses from previous experience and things seen that can't be substantiated. It sounds like a vet visit is in order for your little one.

Welcome to the forum!
Would really like to help you out but we need more information, pictures, where are you located (is it winter where you are) what are you offering him to eat? have you tried other food proteins as they do get bored with their food, how old is your UVB bulbs? what type of bulbs are you using? as some need to be replaced every 6 months some once a year.

i have a 50 watt heat lamp and a UVB150, the heat lamp is brand new and the UVB which is 13 watts is roughly 7 months old, I've tried a variety of diets and he won't eat absolutely anything, he's drinking a bit of water everyday but nothing from his bowl, he's pooping nothing solid just a white liquid, it is also summer where I live, (south Florida)

You need to change the bulbs every 6 months. Do you have a temp gun?

The lighting may be the issue here.. Exoterra UVB150 coil bulbs are known to cause damage to their eyes and only focus UVB over a small area. It's really recommended to have tube style fixture..It should cover 2/3rd of the enclosure and should overlap with the basking bulb as both are needed for digestion and absorption of vit's and calcium. 1 of the great ones that most of us use is Retpisun T5 HO 10.0 these bulbs get changed 1x a year.
You would be surprised just how much the lighting can affect these critters! I know several that were getting all slow, not eating and bulbs got changed and it was like flipping a switch! Petmountain.com typically has some great deals on these I wouldn't be surprised if this is the thing that needs to be addressed. In FL have you tried Discoid roaches at all? those are legal there.
