My sweetheart boy woke up yesterday afternoon, had some water dropped on his snout- he lapped it up. Basked all day until 5 PM and wanted to go to bed. I let him sleep on me until 9 PM. Off and on, I checked on him and he had his eyes wide open despite being in a semi-darkness because I have a light. I took him out, let him sleep on me. An hour later, I put him back in and leave him alone. Cover him. I went to check on him and he he's awake. It's 12:44 AM and nearly the whole time, he's awake. Been awake all this time. Is this normal after a week to two weeks brumation? He's very clingy, too.

He hasn't really shown any interest in greens yet. I gave him a piece and he ate one piece. Then decided no more.

It can take a few days for them to get back up to speed. His appetite should start improving

Oh good! The last time, he was awake for a whole month. When there was a cold snap, he ate some greens and pooped, soaked, and went back to sleep the very next day. I only woke him up once for drinks of water. He accepted it, basked a bit, and went back to sleep that same day. Then today, he woke up and looked so lost. He's sleeping on me know listening to some classical music. LOL.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
