I have heard that collared's brumate and I believe that is what my two are doing.They are in seperate cages one is still active and is eating abou 1 or 2 crix. every couple of days, the other is pretty much sleeping under his rock where he has dug a nice little hole for himself. Now should I leave the inactive one alone and just wait and see or should I be worried. The temp in the tank has been kept constant but the room temp. is pretty cold do to this god awful winter. Any replies would be appreciate.

losing weight, I would not worry ! Hes brumating, normal.

Make sure you give him water though, with a dropper to keep him hydrated.

But if you check him, and he appears to be losing weight , then something is not right !

MY guess, hes brumating if all else seems fine.
