Signs of cold temperatures

Hey everyone :) long time no talk. Zeus has been really good since his surgery but some things have been different since I've had him. The day after I took him to the vet for a check up, (which took forever in the cold waiting room..a good hour) I had to take him back to my home town. So for 3 hours the next day he didn't have any source of heat since we were in the car. He got carsick as always but I noticed after his shed the day before we left he didn't look as bright. Even still he doesn't look as bright. He's now safe and sound with me and his temps seem normal but now he's pooping just urates from time to time. He poops regular too, but also just goes urates.
And at night I found him laying flat in his hot spot the whole night! Without moving! But his temps seem normal... 85-90 in his hot side.

Could he be extra cold from the lack of heat he had for the two days in a row? Maybe I'm over powdering his crickets? I feed him once every other day with calcium dust always. I switch from d3 to no d3 and try and do a multi vitamin once a week.

He's lively, had the appetite of a monster, and seems fine otherwise.

Glad to see you back!
Has Zeus's enclosure changed around during the move? Do you think he could still be extra stressed? How was his shed? Complete?

Thanks Josh! :) nothing has changed everything is in the same place. It could be possible he is still stressed. I haven't held him or anything since I don't want to place stress on him. His shed last time was complete!

Has his behavior changed at all? Are you still seeing the same basking behavior?
