Tai's Lethargic/Droopy Behavior

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi,

I'm newer to owning Beardies and I've never seen one Brumate before. I'd like to know if these symptoms are those of brumation:
-Loss of Appetite(5-6 Worms|Barely any Greens)
-Staying out of direct heat(Temperatures are correct)
-Usually a little cold to the touch
-Droopy, not very active. (Stays in same spot entire day)
-Never basking
-Darker in color (He changes to white color when he's out of tank)

This started around 2-3 months ago right around winter time. I also upgraded him to a 50 gallon tank, with all new "furniture" in the tank, including a larger tree like structure where there are synthetic leaves covering the top creating somewhat of a canvas (He loved a smaller version of this as a baby), and a basking rock which has a cave with two exits (big enough for him to enter/turn around/exit and is also short enough for him to climb and sit on top of to bask.

I re-modeled my room so I was forced to move his tank to the opposite side of the room, with windows on each side of the tank and a tad bit higher than before. There are synthetic plants in the corners to provide some sort of cover so he doesn't feel so open.

Any idea what's going on? Is he brumating?

Hi. I see you're using a gauge thermometer. You need a digital with a probe or a temp gun. Those round gauges are very in accurate, by 20 degress or more. Also what kind of uvb do you have? I see it's on top of the screen, but it needs to be mounted in the tank. The screen blocks 30% or more of the rays. One of the lights might be bothering his eyes he looks like hes trying to get away from them or it might be to hot since the temps are probably way off. When you take the basking temps you need to take the temp on the basking spot.

I'll get right on it for the temp gun or digital thermometer!

This is what he's got: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.j ... lInUS%2FNo

It was recommended by a worker that said she had experience with Beardies.

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.
