It dependes. If you got it from bert, Mabye ,if not check your temps ,Day ,and night, as well as basking . If you keep the temps up they should not go off food, but you never know.Santigo has only gone off food for 9 days , and only last year .He is 4 years old now. What are your ambeint,basking and Knight temps.>? Russ
