Very cute beardie!

It very well could be brumation. Last year my male went down at the end of august, early september (basically, around this time he isnt showing any signs whatsoever right now though this year yet) I always take him for a vet visit when he starts to show any signs of brumation, like yours is now. I do it just in case it may be something else, and gives me peace of mind so that I know nothing is wrong. Has yours ever brumated before?

I know this isn't why you posted, but can I see pictures of your entire enclosure? The little bit that I saw looks awesome. Really makes your beardie look good. I think my new little beardie will be that color when she's grown. I've been trying to figure out how to decorate her viv to bring out her natural beauty. =)
