Hi, I got 2 females and a male and there was kind of a draft from a window where they were and since it was winter it was cold and a week later, now they don`t eat, are they cooling themselves down. The male and 1 of the females are not in the hot spot but one of the females is but she still doesn't eat.
What do I do exactly?
I do plan to breed them.

Im assuming u give the leos a hot spot via UTH or heat tape.If the room was cold they would thermoregulate themselves and find the heat source they need.They need a belly surface heat of 90-95 deg.During the winter months leos dont eat as much

Just curious but doesn't anyone else search threads before posting a question? there have been Soooo many "my leo has stopped eating" threads lately it's astounding.

In lieu of seeming repetitive, maybe you can read thru these that have been posted over the last 10-ish days and find what you're looking for.

I know what you mean...it seems like at least half of all threads in the last few months if not longer could be easily answered if the OPs decided to do a little digging in the forum before making a post. There are few threads that are truly unique circumstances.

Thanks Eric... I was wondering if it was just me being an oddball about this. Glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks/does this :main_lipsrsealed:

When mine quit eating(bottom thread on the list) I just kept offering food and she finally started eating a couple mealies a week. If she starts losing too much weight get a fecal exam but considering all the threads, Im willing to bet the majority of the time its cool weather.
