I’ve got a adult bearded dragon who has been sleeping for a long time. She started in the summer which I thought was odd enough already but from what I’ve heard they can brumate anytime, so I wasn’t to concerned. She slept all the way into winter which is what it is still now in Australia. Anyway I leave all the lights on, reptisun T8 10. Basking is 40-45 (I don’t have a thermostat) But the cool side stays the same temp of around 25-28 degrees Celsius and warm side 33-35. I don’t use a thermostat since they have a timer for the uvb but not for the basking light and I wouldn’t always be home in time to turn it off,I use a normal timer that turns both off and on. I get her out of her slumber sometimes and she basks and she’s alert she sometimes will even run about. She’s recently; the times I’ve gotten her up (1-3 times a week) will eat a few woodies. She will chase them a bit and everything. But she’s doesnt stay up long until she goes back to sleep. So I’m hoping since she went into brumation in the summer and now it’s gotten cold she’s like oh ok it’s cold, gonna keep on sleeping. Once she goes to the toilet I’ll get it tested for parasites but until then, any idea?
