Comment on Question from a first-time lizard owner

I’m not a professional, but your care looks fine. To me, it sounds like the stress of a new environment may have triggered a brumation.
However, I would take them to the vet asap. It’s been long enough to be concerned. Reptiles are very hardy, but that often means they can suffer for a long time before signs show. If they are sick, they probably have been for some time and it may be dire. I wouldn’t count on it, but the vet should be your next step.

I would give it a bit before transporting it again, a trip to the vet will only cause more stress. Maybe find someone to come in to take a look at it if the concern is that high, moving stress + lack of appetite has absolutely been my experience with new reptiles. Give it a while to feel safe in its home, don’t let food stay too long.

Yes, don’t stress it with another trip yet
