Question?
My Sidious is 5 months and 13 days old...he is about 8 to 8 1/2 inches long and weighs 23 grams..
He is alert, up and at em, eats, poops, gets an attitude, sleeps normal and still shows he is changing colors when in a diff environment.
I have UVB bulb and his basking heat is around 110-120 degrees...
He has shedded once but not since then and I’ve had him since July.
What am I over looking or am I just being paranoid?
Top pic is today and pic at bottom is July 11th..

120* is awfully hot, even for a baby. Aim for around 107* on the basking spot. He's awfully cute!

He should be bigger at 5 months. What are you using for UVB? How much food do you feed him per day?

He should be growing like a weed at this age, We need more details please. Maybe a picture of your set up, what your feeding and how often? what UVB? what are you measuring your temps with.. in your 1st picture he is standing with his back feet up like they will do if that surface is too hot.. 107-110 would be better..
