Do bearded dragons sometimes prefer to sit under the heat lamp when going into brumation? Mine is about a year old and he never ever goes to the cool side of his 55 gallon enclosure, so I'm wondering if maybe he just prefers his basking spot, even for brumation. I do have digital thermometers on either side and I have the temperatures dialed in correctly in his enclosure.
About a week ago he started sleeping a lot, and now he's sleeping pretty much 24 hours a day. He'll eat a roach or maybe two if I set him next to some, but his appetite is very low right now.
I thought it was odd that he would start brumation in March, and I just today read that they tend to prefer the cool side of the enclosure for brumation. Has anyone seen a bearded dragon do brumation on the warm side?
