First time beardie owner, and he is finally just around 18 months now.
He came out of brumation a bit ago, don't remember exactly what month/day, and seems to be doing way better than before. I feel like he had a really, really long period where he slowed down, before he actually brumated fully- it was stressful, because it seemed like it started to early to be part of the normal brumation process- is it like that the first time?
I *think* breeding season is in spring/after brumation.. I saw him headbob, for like two seconds, down-up-down-up-down, but that is it. I don't know if I should expect weird behavior for awhile w/ aggression/appetite or anything?
And really important question here- I wanted to get him tested for parasites before he brumated, so that I knew he would go in healthy- but didn't because he didn't go.
After coming out of brumation, should I get a sample tested for him, to make sure he is good to go this year?
Just lemme know,
Thanks
