Hello everyone :) long time no see/chat, im here cause i need some reassurance and or some opinions, lighting, heat, and diet are all 110% accurate, so please dont ask……

okay so heres the situation: Steffern, my Male beardy has been sleeping for two weeks STRAIGHT, he hasn’t eaten, drank , or basked at all, he stays in his hide all day long, he’ll move about once or twice per day, i also hear him at night, his coloring is completely normal (other than him being a tad pale cause im sure hes quite warm in his hide)
He went into “brumation” at over 600 grams so im not worried about the weight loss or anything else, he definitely could lose some weight, my questions/concerns are: does this sound like brumation to you? If so just keep doing what uve been doing? Leaving him alone? Ive read conflicting statements recently on “checking” on dragons, i know you SHOULD NOT feed them (cause the food can ferment in their tummy) but what about offering water? I dont wanna disturb him unless you all think I should, please let me know what you all think, any feedback is greatly appreciated, i look forward to reading ur responses :) (the pic of him in his hide and it being covered was taken yesterday)(him in his hide was at the start of this all)
