I let mine go for as long as they want. My two adult breeders were "free range" so to speak. One spent their brumation under a bird tree in my bird room, the other in the closet in my dragon room. When I came home and they were waiting for me at the top of the stairs, I considered them done. Two years in a row, they escaped from their bins and went to the same spot. They were both safe and sound, so I left them. This year, the female is in her closet already.

Anywhere between 1-5 months is fine for brumation. Many variables affect the length of time your dragon brumates, from temperature changes, light cues and the dragon itself. As long as your dragon is healthy, not loosing weight while brumating (some weight is lost, but it should be small...less than 15% of the pre-brumation weight.)
