    Hi, he looks nice and fat and healthy. If your temps And humidity are good and you haven't changed anything he could just be slowing down because he is an adult and they tend to like to eat bigger meals then they don't eat for awhile. Or sometimes even though temps and humidity haven't changed something has set him off to think its winter/ dry season and he's just slowed for the winter, kinda like a dragon. He will still eat but not as often and not as eager. All mine are going through this right now, and in the spring when they get there energy back I feed mine one big meal once a week and they seem to be happy. All in all he looks healthy to me, and if hes still eating just not with the same gusto as usual and not losing weight I wouldn't worry to much yet. Try making time in between feedings a little longer and see if that helps, and if not again if he isn't losing weight he may have just slowed for the winter. And you could maybe try to move him to a warmer part of the room and the extra heat may perk him up abit.

    Thanks! That is great to hear! That's exactly what it sounds like he's doing my garter snake and two tarantulas only eat twice a week on Monday and Friday so maybe I should include him in that routine as well
