Beardie woke up from brumation.

[BeardieSmaug]

Hello,

My beardie of two years and a half was in and out of brumation, and after 2 months of sleeping in and out of brumation, he woke up this morning (around 9 when i woke up), so I turned the basking light and uvb light on, and he basked for 4-5 hours. Now 4:42pm, he is still kinda lethargic and not moving much, he walked around (even ran abit!) on the floor, and now after being lethargic for a while he kinda went back in his hide (not fully). I assume it takes a few days for him to fully wake up and be active ? I fed him 3 superworms and 2 wax worms, not sure if that was wise or not. I heard they sometimes ho back into brumation after waking up like this, so maybe feeding his 5 worms wasent a great idea?

Thank you, let me know if this is normal

he almost looks sick to me? right now he hasent slept yet, still staring at the hide laying down, darker color

If he's decided to wake up , I'd resort to summer temperatures and photoperiod to give him a chance to process the food he now has on board , will take several days I expect and he may well stay up.

None of my pet lizards (beardies, bluetongues ,water skinks have bromated) in over 8 years .

Yep, turned lights on, and he is on a 13 light and 11 hr non light schedule, instead of normal 12/12. Iv fed him well dusted (more extra calcium) crickets, since I dont feel like giving him superworms right now, about 4-6 crickets a day. He never ever ate his vegetables, very rarely, so vegetables right not I highly doubt he is going to go for, but I still make him a salad every morning.

This morning he woke up again, I got home from school around 1:45 and he was up near the basking light, so thats a good sign I think.
