He's not eating anything. He was out of his shell almost 12 hours ago and moved him from his hatching medium to new cage maybe 3 hours ago. I will post pics but I don't those are the issue he's been this way since hatching? Got a full spectrum day light bulb and a uvb light in a 18x18x36 cage. Not to much greenery in there as trying to keep my eye on him but do have a hibiscus.

He also has a little bit of red between his hind legs. I presume that's the yolk?

That red looks almost like a prolapse, but I have never had hatchlings this young, so it might just be the yolk. More pics please.

Try backing off the UVB bulb. Raise it up several inches or even turn it off and see if he improves. It can be too much for their eyes. Don't expect him to eat immediately may take a day or two from hatching to start eating.

Hers some more pics. I heard not to use basking lights.
