I did a quick search, over night the circuit tripped and my beardies enclosure (At night warm side gets to 70) dropped to 40!! He is barely moving, everything has slowed for him, got the lights back on what is the safest way to warm him up? I wrapped him and placed him closer but not directly under light he is under 90 degrees and climbing currently....should I alter any feeding/soaking after his system had this "shock"?

It dropped down to 40? Do you keep your enclosure indoors or outdoors?

Just tend to your beardie. Keep him wrapped up and comfy and near the light, but not directly under it. You could also give him a nice lukewarm/room temp bath to warm him up a little. Don't go too hot though. Maybe even try warming up some baby food (TEST IT! Make sure it is a LITTLE bit warmer than body temp) and feeding it to him.

Let us know how he is doing!

Thanks Rukki, I know...No it is indoors but it is located in a "Florida Room" and the circuit breaker tripped. I built this with my father for my daughters. Last week our Russian Tortoise passed (had necropsy performed learned it was due to an issue or lack of care previous ) to our adoption. Anyway, he is near wrapped getting warmed...I wasn't sure all of his crickets keeled over, think I'll so make him his special salad now.... (Fruits veggies spinich kale w/ vitamins calcium like I'm hiding it froma kid lol and some meal worms dried up)

I didn't want to remove him and hold him using my heat or startle him when he "came" too.... but I did not want/need two funerals in one week!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
