Question on aestivate?

[GrifTheGreat]

Oh yes, of course. He is still fat and alert (after he wakes up) when I uncover him. I've even tried to feed him a couple of times and he just closes his eyes and acts uninterested.

How old is he? Size SVL?

How old is he? Size SVL?

He's about 3" SVL and approximately 6-7 months old. Ate like a fiend before aestivation....I'm talking 3-4 good size (5-6 scoop) pacman balls in one sitting, every other day. Also, right before he aestivated, he constantly croaked and called from his enclosure for about 2 weeks.

He's not old enough to allow to aestivate. What are the climate conditions in his enclosure??

To help bring him out of it just prepare a warm de-chlorinated bath no deeper than up to his chin and soak him for 15 minutes or more. As the bath cools you'll want to have another warm bath ready and soak him for another 15 minutes. Keep him warm 80° to 83° during the day and 78° at night and keep his humidity at 80% He should come out of it.
