Thanks for the information! I agree with you on the fecal exam. My Leo has completely stopped eating and there is no stool to take. The only vet willing to extract a sample tells me that it is unlikely to be worthwhile unless she is eating. My Leo has not lost any weight, still has a fat tail and a round belly on her. She seems active, even more active than before she stopped eating. Her color looks poor and no appetite for 10 days now. After studying how a reptile will brumate, I have another theory. I bought her 4 weeks ago from a local pet store. She did not have any heat source in her cage. She was healthy, alert, and eating well. I took her to her new home which was set up properly...with heat. She had a great appetite and went through a smooth shedding. Everything was great until last week when she stopped eating. Maybe the big change in her environment (75-78 with no gradient to 85-88 with gradient) has confused her eating/breeding instincts..???

Once again, thanks for you help.
