Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Bad weather and appetite
It could be just co-incidence, but I noticed most of my leos slow down/ stop eating during bad weather. The most recent example was that they slow down on eating from saturday, and believe it or not, there was a tiny twister on monday night. This is very rare in Hong Kong, the news said there were only 8 (including water spouts) in the past 20+ years. Most of them started eating again tonight, but 3 of them still not interested in food.
Anyone notice the same thing with their leos?

I haven’t heard of a leo loosing it’s appetite that way but when the seasons change there appetites very. When it starts getting colder they slow down and when it warms up their appetite increases.

I have found pressure fronts will cause a change in the feeding of most lizards i have dealt with. The low pressure that comes with such drastic conditions has even gotten to my leos since these hurricanes have been pounding us. I wonder if they do not mistake it for the coming of winter and the pressure fronts that move through in that time period, or if it is a hiding response that they have preprogrammed to deal with tough weather. They might anticipate the lack of temperature needed to digest when such events take place (from an instinctual level)
