What kind of substrate is he on? Could he have ingested something that has caused an impaction? Do you have a herp vet you know of that you can call, if necessary?

ok its the third day of no apparent eating, everything else seems fine but my normally voracious eater is no longer so.......any ideas of what it could be????

im not sure, i do know how frustrating and upsetting it can be. Canon and Nikon were same size when we got them and now there is a HUGE size difference and canon just recently regained the weight she lost since we got her, shes not a big eater but never was either...

good luck!! i hope everything is ok

It may be some kind of tummy ache due to the crickets. Has he/she pooped yet? If not, run a shallow luke-warm bath in the tub and let it stay in the water (supervised) for 15-20mins and see if it poops. . .after that, try back down to more of a medium size crickets and collard greens and maybe that will work.

Reptiles can be some of the most aggrivating things in the world when something is wrong with them. Its probally because we all worry too much about our little babies we spend our time, hearts, and money on. But really i wouldn't worry. I have posted a decent amount of HELP ASAP posts just to find out in time my littles ones are just fine. I know how you feel, it sucks. I would do like the above stated put it in some warm water until the water starts to get cold and see what happens repeat it a few days in a row if you have to. And when it poops youre going to wish it didn't. My girl once didn't poop for 6 days!! And when she did, whooooooooooo weeeeeeee was it nasty smelling but i was real happy that she did.

Good luck, keep us posted.

Are you sure that the husbandry is spot on? A hot hot hot spot? What kind of lighting do you use? How many crickets? Any greens or supplements being given? What do you use for water source? Do you mist them at all or soak them?

I know it's been a while since the original post, just some things to think about.
