Hmmm...
Well, it's true, babies tend to hide a lot. Like a LOT sometimes. I know for a few weeks after we had gotten ours, they would run and hide the minute they caught sight of us. It's very possible that the little one is still stressed from the move. Try as best as you can not to overly worry about it.
I'm going to assume that the reason that most everyone is telling you to bump up your temps a bit, is because that's what everyone's experience is telling them. For ours (when we still had them) I had two slightly different basking spots right next to each other... basically, I had a stack of flagstones set up like a series of plateaus. A 100 watt Powersun and a separate lower wattage basking bulb were aimed at the middle of everything (I used a thermostat to regulate the separate basking bulb). On the highest flagstone, the basking temps were routinely around 115*F, and on the next lower one, the basking temps hovered around 105*F. Both of them (they were housed together) alternated between the two spots, but Oscar preferred the higher temps, whereas Bozski preferred the lower of the two. Eh, it just goes to show you that there *can* be a little bit of flexibility.
Also keep in mind, that some tegus will become very picky eaters while going through a shed.
