When will he ever wake up?

[Karenxx67]

Fuzzy has been in semi brumation since end sept ish.
By semi i mean not fully asleep all the time but generally hiding an lazing in the same spot. Just peeping at me through half opened eyes.
I have lifted him out of this position a couple times a month an offered food an water. Sometimes he eats sometimes he doesnt. He does always drink though.
I place him on the basking spot but generally he crawls back to bed.
Im hoping temps are fine as im new to all this an have geard if theyre cold they may not come out.
He doesnt chose to come out on his own.
Temps are 101 on basking spot and around 80ish on cool side.
Hes not sleeping on cool side but behind his leaves on the hot side not far from basking spot.

Anyway im wondering when i can expect him to wake up fully an come back to life?
Do you think it will be once the lighter mornings start here in the uk. Ie march time?
It seems like hes been asleep for so long

How old is he?
What does he eat?

My memory tells me he's way too young to bromate.

I suggest increasing his tank temperatures and the length of the day (to 16 hours) and this will likely get him out of bed.

Lights are on for 14 hours a day they come on at 6.30am an go off at 9pm will another 90 mins make a difference. He will be 12 months old sometime this month an he eats mostly crickets an locusts

He is healthy hasnt lost any weight an is very white in colour on his underside when asleep

If i up the temp a little what would you suggest?
Im gonna set the timer for the lights to come on at 6am an go off at 10pm an see what happens.

What are the daytime temperatures like inside his cave (where he's sleeping) ? and night time temperatures there ?

You need to convince him it's spring/summer in his tank to get him to wake up.

Basking spot is 101 cool side about 78
He is laying just to the edge of the hot side. Night time temp dont go below 75
I dont think it helps that the tank is opposite a big window. He knows its dark lol

So Friday night i upped the lights an turned the temp up a little. This morning i was surprised to see he had gotten up by himself. He has eaten lots of calci worms today.
I have decided to add his 2nd strip light again tonight to make the cage brighter. May help him to think its spring.
Here he is tonight.

Just wanted to ask. Do people dust calci worms or is there no need? I havent been dusting them.

Edited to add he still looks in lovely condition even though hes semi brumated for bloody months. X

He's looking pretty good! Glad to see he's up and about. The calciworms have a relatively high level of calcium naturally so you don't need to supplement them.

Thank you x
