Hi, urgent advise needed please

Im really worried about My Beardie, he is wanting to sleep alot more & hasnt eaten for almost 2 weeks now! He is only 6 months so i know he isnt brumating.

I have taken him to the vet who examined him & says he is perfectly healthy so i feel like it must be something i am getting wrong.
He seems alot happier when i get him out & quite often turns dark in colour when i put him back in his viv like something is making him feel unhappy/stressed.

4ft viv
basking temp is 106
cool end 81
Humidity is 36%.
I monitor these with probes and also an infared thermometer.

Arcadia D3 UVB Lamp - 24W - Desert 22"

I have never owned a reptile before, I'm driving myself mad trying to work out what i could be doing wrong.

i would be so grateful for any advice!

Thanks in advance

Ok things look good as far as brands and what your using - first the rock under the basking lamp looks to be slate-- is it? Watch that if it is it can get really hot next I would lower the surface basking temp to 95-100 it may be too hot for him -- next where is the UVB? Is it in the tank ? What kind of screen is on the tank? Fine mesh like a screen door or a wide hole type? We need to get this all on par to see if we can get his behavior to change - hes too young to be doing what hes doing-- what are you feeding?
