This will be Knox's first brumation, as well as mine (he's my first Beardie).
He was Born last May, 2018, and its now October 2019 so around 1.5 years old roughly.
He's been lethargic for the last month, and i was beginning to suspect he was getting ready to brumate because he started to refuse his BSFL, and would only eat super worms, and his grub pie. I thought at first it may be a hunger strike, so i switched him to supers every other day as many as he could eat.
Well, he finally laid down 2 days ago in his dig box (Tupperware with large scraps of felt for him to lay on) and he buried himself in deep with only his head showing and he hasn't moved in 2 days. I just started to think about it and before he laid down, he had a monster meal, like 20+ Supers in one sitting, and now I'm worried that its going to rot in his stomach while he slumbers.
This is our first time going through the process, so I'm not entirely sure what i should do?
Right now i have his UVB light turned off, his extra ambient light turned off, with only his heat lamp on to keep the temps warm while he sleeps. He isn't always sleeping and hell sometimes open his eyes as i walk by, but he hasn't tried to move in 2 days.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, and welcomed! Thanks guys!
