ok let see... spring water may still have chemicals I would suggest always using a water declorinater and I think tap water is better then bottled. you need to change at least 50% of his water once a week even with the filter. I only handle my budgett's when I do a complete tear down cleaning on their tank. so stress could be a big factor...
how deep is his water? what was the green caterpiller?
Temp should be a little warmer 78 or so... try feeding him some mollys , platys or guppies every so often and frozen thawed rodents once in a while. maybe a half pipe or cave he can hide in could help...
pics would help
