Cham not eating

My veiled male, around 11 months old is not eating. I also have never seen him drink but he always looks hydrated and has a mistking setup. I got him around 6 months old at petco and he ate fine, I feed him crickets and super worms (increasing the variety once I order some stuff of josh frogs) as soon as I'd put crickets in and close his door he'd head down to the lower branches and start hunting right away and all his superworms i tong fed and he ate almost immediately. About a month ago I ordered some hornworms and he ate about 2 instantly and ever since his has cut back on eating and the past 2 days i don't think he's been eating(i did manage to get him to eat 2 super worms yesterday) as there's been crickets roaming his cage. I put some fresh ones in this morning and there are all just crowded in the corner and my Cham just looks at them, even walks past them a few times without eating. I was planning on ordering some more hornworms cause my beardie loves them if the Cham doesn't and night crawlers maybe some Phoenix worms. Any ideas as to why he's not eating much, his mouth looks healthy it's pink but his teeth are yellow but they've been that way for months
 
Maybe he is getting older not needing his food as much when he was younger,maybe he got addicted to the taste of the first hornworm.
Get a fecal test with a vet just to make sure he is all good to go.
