Hey guys!
First time beardie owner here. Aladar has been a part of the family for about 1.5yrs now, we got him when he was just old enough to be determined a male. Yesterday he was so lethargic I took him to the the exotic animal vet clinic we typically see. They found nothing wrong with him after doing bloodwork and x-rays, everything checked out to be perfectly normal and healthy so we assume he is in brumation for the first time.
He was moving about a bit (although extremely lethargic) yesterday afternoon after his weekly soak, when I came into my office today he was asleep as expected but his beard had turned black and his mouth is slightly open and crooked. His temps have recorded all usual, his lights on the timers are all working normally, humidity ect all normal.
Has anyone else experienced a blackened beard and open mouth during brumation?
