Could be the time of the year is causing the slowdown; each Russian seems to react to the shorter days differently.
Put your basking light on a timer with 14 hours on and 10 off. Allow your evening temperatures to drop down to 70 degrees even cooler once he's acting healthy.
If not eating good, try tempting with some dandelions, radicchio, and some Belgian endive. If that does not produce a healthy appetite then I would start the baby food soaks.
Also get your humidity close to 60%, dusty conditions can cause eye problems also.

...and answer the coil-shaped bulb question.
Im sorry I didnt see a coil shape bulb question?
I put on 12hr times but I'll switch it to what you advise. I have the humidity around 60 and tried v dandelions today no luck. Thanks for the advice I appreciate it!
Sorry just seen it. They were dropped off at petco by a lady who didnt want them anymore. So I have nothing to go on. But I.dont use coil ones.
