Thanks for reaching out about Green and including photos. First, check and correct water quality and temperature. If water or basking site is too cold, appetite is inhibited. Movement will sometimes stimulate a reaction, so a live small worm (mealworm, etc.). If these don't work, a veterinary visit would be recommended.
