Picky eater and possibly stressed?

[CircusCandi12]

What's the best food for a picky eater? My 2-yr old Indo used to eat anything I gave him but lately, he won't eat *anything*. He was great with eating veggies, berries, meat, etc. But now he won't even eat those. He's outgrowing his tank since I got him when he was still a baby and his new tank won't be here for a few weeks. I'm sure the lack of proper space is stressing him out but I have no idea what to do in the meantime. Is there any way I can comfort him until the tank arrives? And how can I get him to eat better again?
The only thing he wants to eat is egg yolks but I don't want that to be his main diet.

How long has he went without eating? Is he about to shed? I am not sure when the Indo breeding season is, but males will go off food when they are looking for a mate as well. Have you tried mixing his veggies and meat in the egg yolks? Blending it all up really well?

It's been about a week. He gets full meals every Monday, as the breeder suggested. He just finished shedding a few weeks ago and probably won't shed again for another month or so. I assume he could be looking for a mate since he drops plugs pretty often and has acted more territorial lately. I haven't tried that yet, no, but I will the next time he gets his meal.

My guess is that it is hormonal, but again I am not positive when the Indo's mate. If it has only been a week, I would be to concerned. These guys can go weeks without eating. Trying mixing the food like I suggested and see what happens.

I've heard of indos breeding at all different times of the year...depending on where they are being kept. The general consensus is October/November but I've heard could be any time. Therefore I'm going with hormonal.

Thanks for confirming that for me Splashy...I thought the same thing...but wasn't a 100% sure on it. I think it is hormones. Especially if the skink is dropping them like crazy.

Yep, that means he's looking for a lady...
I've got males (northerns) still not eating...since October...
