Stress marks?

So my baby fletcher has really bad "stress marks" but only when he is in his tank. When he is out of it and I am holding him, nothing. So I am wondering if something is wrong inside his tank?
I have a T5 uvb 10.0 reptisun on too of the tank outside the lid, then a 75 watt basking bulb inside a fluckers mini sun dome. He eats about 5 to 6 dubias or bsfl a sitting and he has access to water... I know the other day it did get a little too hot inside the tank so I moved things around. But I am at a loss otherwise.... he also keeps closing one of his eyes too....

Basking spot is 106 and right now the other side is 85. Humidity is 30. I am measuring the temps with a temp gun and humidity with a dial gauge. He does the one eye closed thing when he is in his tank only

the tank looks okay, but it’s very small. that might be why he is stressed. i think i remember you saying in a previous thread that you’re upgrading soon, so i’d try to do that asap. everything else sounds and looks good, so i’d assume it’s the lack of space! good luck :)
