He may have a respiratory infection. This is a serious illness if left untreated. Have Babliu examined by your veterinarian or a vet experineced in treating reptiles for confirmation. Treatment is usually antibiotics. In the meantime, increase the temperature in the tank by 5 to 10 degrees F to aid in recovery. Make sure he continues to eat.
