I mentioned you 3 specifically because over the past few years I have gathered much good info from you! Nice to see you around again, DG.
This is my 3rd winter of dragon keeping. Once again my dragons have reduced or eliminated their feeding. They appear green and healthy but are inactive and not eating. The only changes to their spring/summer habitat is a 2 hour reduction in lighting (12 hrs instead of 14) and a decrease in day-time temps (80-84 from 84-88) and a decrease in night-time temps (67 from 73). I believe that brumation in AWD is documented but I've never found mention of it in the Asian cousins. Is it something that you have noticed in your tenure as dragon keepers or am I doing something wrong during the winter? Some of the owners on the RZ forum are remarking on similar behavior. This is not a recent photo of my male. He is about the same size but weighs more and shed recently.
Diane
