All,
I've been reading/searching through all the posts I can find and believe Lannan is in the start of brumation. Hopefully, someone can confirm my assumptions.
As of late, I've seen a change in his behavior as he turned 10 mo. old. He is resting/sleeping more than usual during the day and going to bed a bit earlier in the evening. He is actually using his hide and lounging under his hammock, shading him from his basking and UVB lighting most days. Additionally, he appears more non-chalant than usual and eating less within the last few weeks. He has had a slow and steady growth rate until last month, and has remained at 320 grams +/- and 19" since his last weigh-in. From all that I've read, it sounds like brumation, but paranoia has got the better of me. Is it "spring brumation", or time for a vet visit?
