Colombians can take some time to adjust to their new surroundings. They are little egg lovers and will just eat the egg. I would try two things: put a live cricket or two in his enclosure (dust them with calcium) and leave them in his enclosure for the day. Also, I keep my Colombians at these temps: basking 105, warm 90, cool 80, nightime 77-78. You may have to play with yours to see what works best for your little guy. I know if my basking temps are too high, mine won't bask or seem to act agitated. And if I remember correctly, teguixin live closer to the equator where temperatures are more constant throughout the day and a bit more tropical.
