Brumation blues

*sigh* I miss the old energetic Leo— but he’s falling deeper and deeper into brumation, he isn’t fully in it yet since he’s still pretty young but it feels so lonely without him hanging out on my lap or clinging to my shirt

2 months have never gone so slow. He is sleeping 90% of the time now and hardly moves from his perch (except to eat from time to time), he is perfectly health though and hasn’t been losing any weight.

This brumation will be his first, and it seems to be going smoothly. I wish winter was over already!

Hes pretty young to be brumating already -- did you get a weight on him?

I know— he’s not in full brumation, as I mentioned. Very sleepy though, eats the same as always and moves around a couple times a day. He spends most of if not all his time these days under the basking spot.

I got a weight on him, he is 467 grams at the moment (not overweight). He has grown a few grams but never lost any, I’m not concerned.

I could never take your baby— even if she’s that adorable see this is why you need more than one! This is exactly why!
