Brumation typically lasts 2-4 months, so 6 months is longer than normal. Have you started to raise temps up to normal basking temps and increased the amount of daylight? How does he look? Is he thin, wringly or otherwise not looking like a sleeping dragon should? Has he lost any weight during his brumation? Dragons should not loose too much weight while brumating though 50-75g is alright, especially with a long brumation. ANy more amounts and I would be concerned.

Has he been moving at all lately? Does he come out for a few hours every once in awhile or has he been sleeping solidly these past months? Have you tried taking him out and putting him in his basking spot or giving him a bath to stimulate him to drink?
