Have any South African beardie owners on the forum dealt with brumation before? I need information as to when it starts, as mine are both slowing down, although it is only end March now. Is it too early for them to start brumating? We've had a couple of weeks with on/off rain, so temps have dropped a little, but it still averages high 30's during the day time. Any possibility that the rainy weather might have them confused?
I am from Gauteng and I've had my dragons for 6 years now. Not one of them has ever gone into brumation but the weather definitely affects them. :wink:
Spoke to the Craighall vet, and she says that our weather won't get cold enough for them to go into complete brumation. I've had my baby for 3 years now, and I did notice her slowing down a little.
