One more question....When do they start waking up from brumation?

Only one of my dragons went into brumation this year and she just woke up about a week ago. It was really fun. It was like having a brand new pet, of course now I remember that making two salads takes twice as long as one, and of course now we have two dragons to clean up after instead of one, and two etc etc etc... But I'm pretty happy she's awake.

If you want the dragon to come out of brumation then gradually increase the light and temps to normal range. Start offering salads and other food items once the temps are sufficient for safe digestion.

My guy has been out since early November, and will not wake up! I've got him up twice for a bath, within a day or two he's sacked out in his log again. His cage temps are up, the lights are back on long days, he still refuses to budge. I did let him sleep in peace through the winter, but I'm having no luck getting him up at all the little brat. I miss him!
On the plus side, I have noticed him poking his nose out, and looking around sleepily once in a while. He hasn't touched his food or water tho. Last year he was zonked from February to May, so I was hoping with him starting in November he'd be up by now.
