Thanks for reaching out and including a picture. Decreased appetite can result in poor water quality conditions or illness. If the water temperature drops, digestion can be interrupted. Intestinal parasites, infections or ingested foreign bodies can decrease the appetite also. Other metabolic conditions (low calcium, low vitamin A, liver or kidney diseases) can also account for poor condition. It is recommended you seek the assistance with a visit to a reptilian veterinarians office. Good luck.
