It could be breeding but your temps are quite high and he is still a bit small for breeding yet, has he produced a sperm plug yet?
Alright, I'll drop the temps down and see what I can get them steady at.

At that point I'd consider taking a fecal sample to the vet's and possibly a checkup as well, just to make sure there are no health issues.
I would have to say Mid December, and yea I'm not to concerned but I just want him eating again. The only problem for the fecal sample is, is that he isn't producing fecal because he hasn't ate in a while. But I'm going to drop temps to what has been recommended and see what I can do. Thank You for the advice everyone.

I just had success with offering a large mouse. Maybe try offering something different in a smaller then usual size? It worked for me and usually does work for some keepers that I have talked to.
