My leo was always a good eater. He would eat every day, he usually eat around 2-3 large crickets and 2-3 mealworms a day. Now I can't even get him to eat anything. Im luck to get him to eat one mealworm. He started acting like these two days ago and yesterday I was able to get him to eat 1 mealworm and 3 crickets after 20 minutes of encouraging him to eat. Now he wont eat again. I have had him for 6 months and never had any problems until now. The only thing that changed these week was him Night bulb burning out and me changing it. I also believe its because of the temp of his tank. Since its winter my room is colder and his tank temp stays around 80 with the lights on, but its been like that for a bit now. I can't do much to raise the temp. My mom wont turn the heat up any higher then 70 in the house.Can you please help me figure these out and also maybe suggest a new feeding schedule for him. I feed him every night between 11 and 12. Should I start feeding him every few days now or something.

hes getting older don't worry. when they get older they tend to eat more every few days. also the change in weather can be pushing him into brumation; if you don't have under-tank heater i would get one.
anyway a good new schedule would be this:
Monday
Wednesday
Friday
Sunday

it is your choice on when you want to dust feeders

Thanks for the quick reply, and yes he does have a under-tank heater on the hot side. I will try the new feeding schedule then and see if it works. I'm also planing on moving him to a 20L tank soon with higher watt bulbs, from 50 to 75. Which should help with the temp problem.
