Default What could be wrong with my leo?

Sephs been very distant lately. He rarely even comes out at night, and im up very late. He doesnt even seem so lively when he's out.
He's eating well and drinking well. I know because the crickets i put in, are gone, as is the water I replenish! He just seems to want to stay in his hide all the time right now, and its not like him.

Anyone got any clues? Its slightly worrying!

I had some leo's and they did the same at this time of year, if i remember correctly it could be to do with the winter temperature drops.

I hope so. However, its been roughly the same temperature in the viv. Do they sense the slightest of drops, so easily?

In short yes, my males that are alone have all gone into hiding in the recent few days.
My mixed groups and my girlies are still quite active but that could be age as some of my males are 3-4 years old so more experienced with the winter temps and that.
I am sure he is fine, is he still eating and pooping well?

Light Period, i.e. the daylight period is getting shorter.
