Baby beardie not eating

[Huntersmom]

Hello all,
I just purchased my baby beardie on 2/15/2020 from Petsmart. I named him Hunter. I was told he is about 3 months old. The first couple of weeks he ate his crickets fine. I purchased Dubias which he seemed to love and ate between 5-10 twice a day for a few days. Suddenly, he has stopped eating. He may eat 1-2 crickets or dubias a day. I’m not sure why he stopped eating! Today he ate a bite of greens and a tiny piece of strawberry but will not each any more. His basking temp is around 95-100 degrees. I just bought a repti bulb that is 100w and is uva/uvb plus heat. Also, when I got him his tail was about to shed which has since finished. Any idea on why he’s not eating? Thank you!
Oh, I usually have the repti carpet as a substrate but I just cleaned it and it’s drying. So there’s paper towels in the tank now. I’ve also given him a bath a couple of times which he seemed to not mind.

The UVB is a what ? Its a all in one? If its a all on one bulb -- what is the brand and the wattage?

Hi. The brand is repti zoo and it’s 100 watts.

here is a picture of the bulb

This not a UVB- that is a basking bulb--- what are you using for a UVB- please post a pic of your tank

I posted a pic of the bulb above. It says it’s UVA and UVB and I was told I could use that as the UV source as well as basking. I’ll attach a picture of the tank below. I have the all in one bulb on the right as well as a reptisun 5.0 UV bulb on the left.

Ok so the vapor bulb I am thinking it's not high enough wattage and placement is off--. This is what I recommend if your using a coil in one of those domes you need to get rid of them--- this us one reason why your little guy is not eating -- he will go thru relocation stress and his eating will slow down but to quit all together no-- so I would get a 24" fixture w/ reflector and a Reptisun 10.0 tube either a T 5 or T 8-- placement depends on bulb--- your basking bulb needs to be a bright white basking bulb that keeps temps 95-110-- babies 105-110-- these 2 lights are the most important thing in that tank--- temps should be taken w/ a digital probe NO STICK ONS- they are inaccurate-- I also recommend a infared heat gun $10-12 from your local home improvent store- probes $5 from Petco or PetSmart

Thank you so much! Any recommendations on the brand of white light for basking? Is the bulb that I posted above not a good one? Also, is the photo below what I should purchase for UV source? Thanks for your help. I want the best for him.

also, the vapor bulb I have is in the dome to the left right over the rock where he basks. Is that the wrong placement?
