my bp that hasnt eaten since august is acting a little different..since the cooler months arrived, i am finding him underneath the paper towel substrate on to the glass bottom of the tank that isnt heated to keep himself cold...he has good temps, good hides and everything but its a male and i thought i would see what everyone's opinions were.

Conserving energy. It is bad news for a Ball that isn't eating to bask in warm temperatures. No need to thermoregulate when there's no food in the belly for an ectotherm.

Now, as to why he isn't eating? Could be a million things.
