Brumating - board or leave home alone?

[CitrusLemonBeardie]

Hi All

Lemon has been brumating for about three weeks now. He has woken up twice during when we have weighed him and bathed him. He is looking great, hasn't lost a single ounce of weight and was lively enough on Sunday after his bath that we thought he was coming out of it and he ate about 14 crickets before basking until the evening. He has since gone back to sleep again in his hide

My question is, we go away for a few days at the end of the week, so what should we do with him? We will be leaving lunchtime Friday and returning lunchtime Monday so he would be without us for just two days, Saturday and Sunday. Originally we planned to board him but I am wondering since he is brumating could he be left at home for those two days? I have timers for heating and lamps, and we would leave a big salad / water in case he does stir. Happy to board him as planned but wondering if this would be unnecessary stress for him during brumation (and for such a short period of time)?

Thoughts very welcome!

I would think it would be ok to let him stay home, like you mentioned just leave food and water just in case.

I agree, he'll be more comfortable at home and should just fine for 2-3 days. Moving him will cause stress.

Leave him home for sure…
