Late start brumation?

[ohmybandit]

Is it possible for them to still go down in February? Bandits about 8 months old, she's been sluggish all winter but now she has been sleeping since the 10th with just being awake maybe 3 times? I know she's not sick. I have the proper temps and lights. I'm just curious as to the possibly of starting brumation late? Everyone's dragons went down before November to December and my little lady went down the 10th of this month. Normal?

Where you live, has it been colder lately. Colder weather change could cause they to brumate at this time of year.

It really depends on the beardie, too. Some are closer to their Australian roots and may try to brumate in the summer even!

Chicago. February has been the coldest so far so that makes sense. She definitely went through the up down slow down phase but now she's just out bum.
