Brumation or normal behavior?

[FloraBelle]

Hello,
I have a question for you all. My 7 1/2 month old boy, Indiana, is about 18 inches long and about 350 grams.. He has developed what may be a pattern, or may be early signs of brumation. He will eat like crazy for a few days or a week, then stop eating much of anything. Recently, he didn't eat anything for two days, and then the third day, he ate a few dubia. Now he isn't eating again. About the only thing I can get him to drink is a little diluted grape juice. Is this "cycling" normal? He's been doing this for a couple of months now... Lately, he's been curling up in corners, too. I think he is too young to brumate.... What do you all think? Thank you!

Hi Flora....he is young but he's a big boy and some fast growing dragons will go through phases like that. He should be fine ....just watch that he doesn't lose much weight or begin to display a black beard while he's sleeping.

Thank you so much! He seems okay.. just not hungry. He was eating hornworms for a couple of weeks, but now he turns his head at those, too.... spoiled on top of everything else!!! :lol:
