    BP hasn't moved since I got him.
    I understand BPs don't move a lot any way, but what worries me is he is out in the open and not in either of the hides. He has been curled up just outside of the entrance of his warm hide which he is still over the heat mat where he is at any way so I don't think it's the heat. Temps are running 85 on hot side low 70s on cool side. Humidity stays around 60.

    How long have you had it? And has it eaten?

    If it's eating then it's fine. Some BP's are just weird.

    Then give it some time. Let it be itself. Only be concerned if it doesn't eat for a while and starts losing weight or you see some obvious external signs of something wrong.

    If anything, I'd bump the high heat to 90.

    You could contact the seller and see if thats normal.
    How are you checking your temperature?
    Did you get it from a show or pet store or local?
    Give it time but keep watch.
    Pics of your setup could help also.

    He has literally not moved at all since you put him in the tank? What does he do if you pick him up?

    You can see it breathing right?

    Yes it is breathing.

    I have temp gun that I use to check Temps

    That's another reason why I'm a bit nervous I got him at petco. I had gotten a 50% off any reptile purchase coupon, but this petco was the nicest one I have ever seen they even had two blue eyed lucies there it was awesome.

    He cruised around a lot the first night and from yesterday evening till now has been in the same spot just outside of the hide.
