Rex is 1-1/2 years old. In the last few weeks he has only pooped twice, doesn't eat but maybe 4 butterworms a day and sleeps all the time. He's been on the same branch, in the same position for 2 days. He only opens his eyes every once in a while to see what your doing. He hasn't lost any weight, he's just really slowed down from what he use to be this summer (we got him in May). Does this sound like brumation?

Basking temps: 101~114 (shot with a temp gun in different spots)
Cool Temp: 78~80
Night temps are around 65~68
Reptisun 10.0
Veggies: Mustard Greens, Endive and Yellow Squash (always available, thought not eating it lately)
Protein: Silkworms, Hornworms, Butterworms
Tile Substrate

This is the same setup since we got him May 2nd. In June all of his blood work was great and his weight was really good.

UPDATE: YEA, Rex finally took a HUGE poop today in his bath. He ate 2 med hormworms and looks really alert today. I am going to try some pumpkin on him today to see if I can get him to be a little more "regular".

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. 😴
