African fat-tailed gecko eating less for a month and dropping her food: what to check
Sorry to hear you're concerned and I may have answered another post that was yours. If this is not brumation, I would look for decreased water intake and significant lethargy. Bowel movements should not be very firm and dry. What material is used as her bedding for her enclosure? Does she have a vitamin D3-calcium supplement?

African fat-tailed gecko suddenly eating far fewer insects with nothing changed
Sorry to hear you're concerned. This is likely just brumation. This is the time of year many reptiles will slow down on activity and feeding. Just maintain good clean water and keep providing insects.

Bearded dragon regurgitated dubia roaches and has eaten less for three weeks
Sorry to hear about your bearded dragon. What uvb light set up do you have for their enclosure and how warm does the enclosure get? This is normally when brumation can begin with our bearded dragons, so they will slow down on eating. I would keep doing warm baths and leaving plenty of water out.

Sorry to hear about your bearded dragon. I would take a picture if it happens again. What does his normal diet consist of?
