i have a female irian jaya whose not eating her usual food rations, is it because of the time of the year? hope u help me with these questions. mch respect

Hey!! May I ask how much/ how often/ and what you are feeding your skink? Also how old is it?

My skinks have appetite fluctuations all the time and the time of year should'nt matter unless your temps/light cycles are fluctuating.

im planning to breed them so i fed them pretty heavy for the past few months. My males are still eating voraciously. im just woryin bout my female. This are my feeding plan, im not that sure if this correct but it works well with my bts. im feeding them everyday, with 1 day no food, (usually on sundays). Im feeding them dog food mixed with fruits(peaches,mangoes,banana) or veggies (lettuce), followed by vegies or fruits the next day, mice at least once a month, and super worms occasionally. My lighting is on a 12/12 system, (12 hours on-12 hours off), but i had changed it to 8 hours on, due to continous temperature rising here in the philippines. But my female loves the supplements im givin them (jumpstart by sera). That sometimes, she would just not eat and jus wait til i feed her with it. Im just curious if this is because of the change in weather or some sort.

It may be possible that she is sheding. My male didn't eat a single thing until he shed (except one attempt when i fed him some raw egg). Also check 4 paracites. And 4 veggies, lettuce only is a no-no. Feed her a nice variety of veggies.

oh i dont know that, what other vegies or leafies can i give my bts?
