so I've posted here enough and you guys have seen my setup and know my temps are good.
Sector went into his hide a few days ago and hasn't come out. I was a tad worried so I got him out a day or so ago and offered food hand fed, veggie AND Live Meat.
He closed his eyes....I said wow! This dude might really want to brumate.
He went BACK into the hide and just shut it down.
I've always heard of Brumation but I thought one could avoid it in captivity if they didn't mess with the lighting and temps.....I guess not lol.
Do I just wait for him to come out? Do I put a towel over the exit of the hide?
Will he do it every year now? Do I need to pump him with nutrients when he comes out?
Anyone have the 101?!?!
