Not Eating?

You may have seen my Indonesian, Cobalt, before and up to know he has been a good eater most of the time, maybe a little picky. But recently he hasn't been eating very much. He isn't new, I've had him since January. Now, he is still very active and is constantly out and about. I've noticed that he's created a path that goes underneath him water dish and around the change. He's drinking water, but doesn't eat much. Should I be concerned, or is he just going through a phase?

Is it possible he's going to shed soon? That puts some skinks off their food. Cold temperatures can also cause a slowdown in appetite.
So long as he isn't losing weight or showing signs of illness, you shouldn't worry.

if its close to winter he might be thinking of taking a little nap, depending on what species he is.
change in temperature, weather?
im not entirely sure, but if you monitor his weight and see so that hes not loosing much, he could very well go for weeks, maybe months without food. since hes drinking, dont be worried xD

Since he's been out so much, he's actually become warmer. Well, maybe he just doesn't feel like eating. Tomorrow I think I'll put together his favorite.
