Barney, my 4 yr old male dragon has been in deep brumation for over three months. Its been over a months since I woke him up so I figured I should check him and make sure he got some water today.
Once I got him woke up, I put him in the bath to help warm him up. His legs and feet started shaking which I attributed to him just waking up. He had a nice long drink, some apple sauce and liquid calcium before going back to bask.
He has been awake all day, which is unusual for him so I'm hoping he will stay up now, I've missed him this winter. What I am worried about is his apparent weak muscles, he hasn't lost any weight or muscle mass but he won't stand up. Instead he does this weird belly wiggle crawl when going place to place. He can stand as I seen him jump off his rock earlier and right now he is standing up fairly tall. Has anyone else seen weak muscles in a dragon upon waking? Is it something I should worry about?
I gave him another dose of liquid calcium and some Vit B complex, anything else I can try to give him a boost? I tried massaging his legs but it isn't easy with the spikes.
Here is a picture taken today right after his bath.
