It will be a little complicated but any of my herps that mysterioulsy stop eating I start weighing them once a week. Eyeballing weight just isnt good enough for me and sometimes you wont notice until its much too late. Plus if hes rapidly dropping wieght youll have it documented and it will help the vet diagnose. Yes some herps will stop eating for a bit. But my experience with especially tokays Ive never seen them to stop eating for no reason and be okay. Exhaust your options first. Start with a stool sample to test for parasites. Its sounds like hes cb so this is unlikely BUT parasites can be tranfered though food, hands, anything that has touched one cage and gone to another. Also natureszone makes this really good appetite stimulate its just a large dose of b12 its called APPETTITE PLUS get the animal to open his mouth and just sqeeze a couple drops in his mouth. That could help. Hopefully this helps a bit.
