I think your he is a she. Colombians can be sensitive to stress and relocation and stop eating. This one looks to be in good shape so I wouldn't be overly concerned with not eating right away. I like to keep my Colombians evenly warm. I keep the nighttime and cool side at 77 in the summer, 70-75 in the winter. The warm side I keep at 80-85 year round. The basking spot is set for 110-115 surface temperatures. This is not a set in stone temperature rule, just what I choose to do with mine. I also like to use PowerSun or natural sunlight to stimulate Vit D production and appetite.
Mine like just about anything dipped in raw egg yolk. You can try a defrosted small mouse dipped in egg and see if she'll go for that.
