Are you able to answer the following? It will help us better understand the situation. Additionally, have you seen a herp vet?

  • Location - Where are you geographically located?

Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about.
 
Looking again at your pic, I initially misidentified the orientation of it. The black is the enclosure bottom and the poos there do not look very healthy, even taking into account the water from misting. Then the cricket down there, live or dead makes for an unhealthy environment. Also, is it just the one fake vine that he has? Please tell me it is not so bare. No plants real or fake? How would he even be able to drink without any plant to collect droplets? Even a hospital bin need to have more in it than what your guy looks to have. I know you’ve been around for a few years, but if you need help with getting your husbandry improved, or identifying any problem areas, just ask.
