Show a picture of the enclosure.
If the tank is 33inchesx16inchesx16inches it is way too small and needs to be enlarged ASAP!
He likely can not get away from the high basking temps if those are correct and it's drying him out. What is the humidity? Should be 80%
Are you using a mercury vapor bulb? They are too intense and needs to be replaced with an incandescent flood bulb.

I’m going to make him an outdoor enclosure when it gets warmer what size do you recommend both indoor and outdoor I keep the humidity at 60 (that’s what I was told by the vet) I will increase it for sure he means a lot to me I feel horrible the temp is usually at 75 ish his lights are like 16 in above his shell these are the lights and if I need different ones could you please send a link or a picture thank you so much
