First time Brumation worries

[Jurri]

My beardie is about 11 months old and started brumating at about 2 months back (in our winter). September is our spring month but was a very cold September. About 2 weeks ago it started warming up to over 30C - 35C outside. He is still sleeping. He came out about 2 weeks ago (looked very healthy), and I gave him some water dripping on his nose. He drank a bit. He did not eat though and went back to sleep. Still sleeping. I am worried that the UVB light (coil type) is maybe not sufficient in the current setup(120cm x 40cm x 30cm). I have a new 120 gallon enclosure ready to go with a 60cm T5 10.0 UVB and Basking heat lamp ready and been running for about 2 weeks. So I want to move him to the new enclosure. Can I just move him, or should I wait until he wakes up?

I would wait till hes awake and get your T 5 set up as soon as possible -- coils are no good - this may be one of the reasons hes not coming out - the 40 gallon tank can handle the 24 inch but your screen will determine placement and distance -- if the screen is a fine mesh like a screen door it needs to go in the tank or unobstructed 12-15 inches -- wide hole type 8-10 directly above your basking decor piece

Thank you. I moved the T5 to the old enclosure where he is sleeping. Will keep updated on the progress.
