Should I deep clean my beardies tank during burmatuon?

[Indigostars]

Hello there,
My beardies showing all the signs of burmatoon, loss of appetite, not as active, he’ll open up his eyes and look at me when I check on him. Been keeping an eye and everything seems all good in that regard. However his monthly tank cleaning (deep clean to disinfect) is coming up, I was wondering if I should wait for this to be over? Or should I disturb him to clean it?

No, don't disturb him. It's best to let them be when they're in that state.

Please let him be- the tank should be dirty as he is simply resting.
Don't be that annoying parent like me- let them be! LOL
It's hard- we should start a thread, what to do when beardies brumate: Read, take a walk, research further about beardies, etc. Hang in there!

Thank you so much, lol I am definitely paranoid and it’s his first burmation which isn’t helping lol. I offer him food (every now and then) and check on him to make sure he’s all good, but besides that I leave him be lol thanks so much for the advice!

Totally understandable for a first time but you're doing fine. I've had dragons brumate for over 20 + years and never had a problem.

Hmm, you might want to give them a little poke and see if they are still OK after all this time..

Oh how I've grown....20 years...I would've panicked- cried, asked 50 questions and now I know it's a joke!!!
I must admit, that first year felt like 20 years- I can not lie!
