Does he seem sick other than not eating? Does it look like he's losing weight? How long has it been since he's been to the vet. Sometimes leos get bored with their food and go on "strike" for about a week, it's not a bad thing and they are usually fine.

He doesnt seem sick, he actually wants to come out more often and hell climb right on my hand. Thanks for the advice.

I fyou are worried you can get a fecal done at the very least. These are cheap and unless parasites are found you dont even hae to bring your leo in to the vet.

can be a sign hes seeking warmth, if hes too cool he won't want to eat cause he can't digest as well...

Could be totally off base but just thought I would throw it in there...
