water during brumation?

sledge Mar 25, 2005 09:57 AM

so do i use a dropper to do this or put some water in the tank?

my lizards havent moved an inch since i put them in except the one female finally moved under a rock. they are breathing and seem to be ok. temps are at 57-61 degrees

I do both, I keep a low saucer in with them, incase anyone wakes and wonders over to get a drink. And I also wake them atleast once a week, sometimes 2(I get nervous) and drip some on their snouts with a dropper.

Some will go right for it and drink from the dropper, others just get their noses driped on,

If you notice anybody losing weight, NOTICABLE, than stop brumating,and return them to the tank.

Good Luck, Let us know how they do.
