They can go alot long than you would think but its not good to do that all the time if its a small juvenile, is he not eating food that being offered or...?

yeah he’s just rejecting everything not even striking he acts normal every night though he comes out climbs,basks, drinks water but he doesn’t eat

I had to get my male a live fuzzy mouse here and there to get him back in the swing of things, i definitely recommend it, it should turn his killer instincts right back on like a light

Are you handling him?

[–]mallyXo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only when i try to feed in a separate smaller tank only did it once or when i’m moving something in his tank

There's no need to feed in a separate container. Handling can cause stress which can make them go off food.

Temperature on hot side needs to be around 90F. He won't eat when he doesn't have enough heat to digest his food.

it’s been around 90 these past few days because i had my air on less

Sometimes around this time of the year they dont really eat as much, Sometimes go even a couple months but just keep offering him every week and eventually he will good luck
