I was hoping for another few weeks to a month of peace and quiet before they start demanding my time again! I have them in a "winter" enclosure where they can burrow deep into the substrate located here in my office. They are delegated to my work area during non Burmation times, where I have enough room to keep their large 8X4 enclosure. I don't think they are fully awake yet when I do see them they have climbed the hill of sub-straight and just sit there.....lol. I was just curious if anyone else is waking up....they probably just came out to stretch and will take a short snooze for a while longer....

Good point about how variable they can be through breeding amd locale.

Weird, ain't it? Mine are 20 yrs worth of breeding in Miami away from Argentina. and up here, they're snoring for 5 mo.

I got my baby in November and she went down right away, she is still down . I live in Central BC so there is still lots of snow, but the days are getting longer now .I can't wait for her to wake up

I was hoping these beasts would stay down for another month or two but it seem that now all three are awake, well sorta, the come out look around and fall asleep. not really eating but enjoying the warm bulb until they need another nap

My little one has been getting up the past couple of days for a bit.

I just looked over yesterday and there was Gu-Bear, looking back at me like: who are you?

My husband got him for my birthday in February and he's been down since. I started yelling into the phone: I've got a dinosaur sighting!!!!

I still have the two B/W (females) out and about they are both eating although still kinda slow moving, but the Red male is still snoozing way, I see him turning from one position to another but he has only came out once about 2 weeks ago, all I see each time is his tail....I sure hoping he puts on some size this year, it took me 9 months from the time I got him for him to accept live food, not sure why but he was terrified of anything that moved. I could get him to eat pinkies, but his hunting instincts did not seem to kick in until just before winter.
