What is his size lengthwise & his weight? You have to take that into consideration regarding his fatpads, his hydration status, etc. So he had a clear fecal at the vets then? That is good news then, no problems there.
What are you measuring the temps with currently? A stick on thermometer, or a digital probe or a temp gun?
Really, you could increase the basking temps to 95-105, but no higher as adults normally don't like it as hot as babies do. The cool side could actually be a bit cooler, say 78-82 just to ensure the ambient temps don't get too much. They need a definite hot spot & a definite cool spot to thermoregulate. Do you have a bright white basking light such as a halogen or daytime bulb in there for basking? What about your UVB source, what type & brand is it? That can make a huge difference.
How do his eyes look sunk in or bright? How does his skin look, is it tight, or a bit wrinkly?
Do you know what type of living conditions he came from?
This may very well be a brumation phase, but let's go over your husbandry & setup just to make sure everything is all setup correctly for him to rule everything else out first. We don't want him to brumate if there are other reasons he is acting this way. If your setup seems to be in order, then, we will discuss putting him into brumation or letting him brumate. It is hard to fight nature, when they want to brumate, there usually isn't a whole lot that will stop them!! LOL
