Schedule change... Is it normal?

My little Russian has made a sudden schedule change. He used to be excited about breakfast, and clear most of his plate, then I'd give him a little snack in the evening, so he wouldn't go to bed hungry. For the last week or so, he sleeps in in the morning. No interest in breakfast. Some time after I leave for work he wakes up and eats a snack, but leaves most of the plate sitting there. Then about 8 PM he's ravenous and wants a big dinner. Temps, UVB, light cycle haven't changed. I'm just going with it at the moment, assuming he certainly has a right to eat when he prefers to eat, as long as he's eating enough to be healthy. Anyone know whether this just falls into the "They just do that sometimes" category?

Or maybe he's sensing the cooler temperature in your house.

Could be. His enclosure temps haven't changed when I measure, but he is in an open air enclosure so there's likely cooler air moving overhead. Maybe it's taking longer for the nighttime (about 85) temp to come back up to the daytime gradient. Thanks (as always!!) for the info!
