'Ishtar' my central bearded dragon prepping for hibernation

Where did you get him from?

@LennyTheLizardKing Hi Lenny, got him from a breeder in St Ives (Sydney- Australia). My friends and I looked local breeders up on a reptile forum. He's about 6yrs old now and going strong.

nice bearded dragon mines7 months old or so and i think hes going into hibernation because he is always asleep now and when ever i wake him up he pulls out his beard and opens his mouth as wide as he can and then just gos right back into the cage

@bowmanlr66 heh, yes they do get a bit grumpy if you wake them when they're tired. =) I turn off all his lights (except for one heat emitter at one end) after a week without waking at winter. Although when he was younger he didn't sleep long, now he sleeps for 4 months!

@hellow533 Very true! Although mine literally doesn't move for 3-4 months of every year so used hibernation to describe it. Nice catch ;)
