Dont worry to much at this stage, it is not unusual for a tort to loose some weight when adapting to a new home.

Did you vet look at the feaces to see if theres any parasites?,
What diet are you giving?
How many times and how long do you bathe him for?
What Uv have you got? whats the temps like?
What sort of habitat has he got?

- Vet did a fecal float, no eggs.
- I'm giving him mostly greens(red leaf lettuce, romaine, ridichiao, endive, escarole, etc) and some hay. Also Carolina's TNT and calcium 2x a week.
- Soak about 10-20mins once every 2 days.
- Separate heat and uv bulb 10.0, basking area about 95f.
- He lives in a 40gal rubbermaid for now.

Also, maybe one of the scales might not be calibrated right.
