Is it me or the weather?

Question...I have 6 leos and they are not eating! They are all healthy, and keeping their weight but they have refused to eat for the last 2 weeks or so. I have tried mealies, butterworms, silk and the list goes on to no avail. Could this be the weather? I am in upstate NY and the weather is already in the 30's and 40's at night and 50's and 60's daytime. The gang seems to be happy, more sleepy then the norm. Any body else having this problem? I'm worried. I have 3 females in a 50 gal, 2 females in a 30, one male in a 20 and one male in a 15. Tank temps are 82-86 day, 74-77 night. UTH in all tanks, fresh water, calcium dishes, moist and dry hides for all. I don't think I am doing anything wrong. Any input for a novice. Thanks in advance.

It's probably the weather. Mine have decreased in appetite and I'm feeding the adults every third day or so and most of them are eating, but not that enthusiastic. As long as they don't lose much weight and seem alert and content, you're probably fine.

My leo's are also cutting down on the prey items they take. Where I live (Holland) it's turning a bit colder each day, so I'm not worried.
I would be, if it was in the middle off summer, or when they would be really thin and lethargic.
Greetings,

Cindy
