Typically poor nutrition. Improper husbandry can also be to blame. It is, however, pretty treatable when caught early enough. I agree with the rest of the folks; let the newbie shed, and see how he does after shed. If he has an RI, the vet can prescribe some antibiotics. Just make sure his temp gradients are sufficient, and he's got ample humidity. I'd let him be for awhile too (less handling, unless it's absolutely necessary), so that he can acclimate to his enclosure and fix some of the "sick" he came to you with
