Rapashy superload is all in 1 dry food loader and rapashy water cubes is another i also calci dust with rapashy calcium
 
Mat, the Superload is a gutload food. It's not like the Calcium plus.

Mr.Deedu, could you please tell us what the temperatures are exactly? If it is a little cold he may not want to eat.
And what calcium is it, does it have vitamin D3 or not?

Otherwise I don't see anything that looks suspicious. It is possible that he's been eating too much and now that he's reaching adulthood he just doesn't need to eat as much. My adult panthers will not poop every day either, and since they don't eat every day they may only defecate twice or thrice a week.
 
Yes olimpia so sorry they are 70ish cold side and 80 warn side with 85 basking spot and i wasnt aware he would only eat 2-3 every 2 days yet as i was under the impression he would eat around 7 till 1 yr old
 
What kind of UVB were you using before the change? The reason I ask is I use the 6% arcadia and before that I was using a reptisun 5.0. When I changed them out my boy did not eat for a few days and stayed dark. I was thinking it was either that or a combination of moving him to a larger cage. But I put an extra screen under the light and slowly acclimated him to it. The day I put the screen(actually gutter guard) under the light he lightened up and ate that evening. I slowly removed the gutter guard over a period of a week. May not be the same thing with your guy but I thought it was worth mentioning.

He is beautiful by the way!
 
Changed it to the same crocky so wont be that thanks for mentioning how long would i leave it before taking him to a vet eating wise
