Hi all - has anybody in the UK had their beardie brumate in the summer? Lemon is 2 in October and brumated for the first time last October - December.
Over the last 4/5 days he has been showing all the signs of brumation again which is surprising considering we are in the middle of summer. His temps / UV etc are spot on, brand new T5 put in about 5 weeks ago. Looks as handsome and bright as always - eating really well when we coax him out of his cave (rocket and 25+ crickets yesterday as an example) , but he had to be removed from his cave and sat on his basking spot for an hour first. It's now 8.40pm and he hasn't been out of his cave at all today. Huge healthy poop yesterday.
Should we treat it as brumation and reduce heat / lights as we did for his winter brumation?
Thanks!
