Four questions about bearded dragon brumation, please answer as many as you can?
If you can't answer all of them that's not a problem at all. Here goes:
1. Is it possible for a beardie to very lightly brumate? Mine was sleeping a lot and eating less and hiding some, but he still spent a decent amount of time at his basking spot.
2. Do you think beardies get attached to a certain comfy spot for brumation? Mine would change spots every now and then, but most of his time was spent sleeping on his hammock, which is his basking spot. He has always seemed to like that hammock. I even had to move it from the cool to warm side (before brumation) so he would actually bask. Do you think he might disregard light and temp just so he could be on his hammock? Like I said, he seemed to be very very lightly brumating. In fact, I was beginning to worry he wasn't brumating at all, but he wasn't losing weight or showing any signs of distress so I put my paranoid mind to rest.
3. The last two days, Loki (my beardie) has become very active again. He is constantly patrolling his cage. Is it likely he is fully awake for good now?
4. Is it normal for a beardie to poop less when brumating? I was having to give him baths so he would go every single week. However, today he pooped for the first time without using a bath to make him. Is it just a coincidence that he is both more active and has pooped on his own, or are the two things related?
5. (This one is just for fun.) Any cute pictures of your beardie? :)

1) Yes it is. Some beardies will sleep for a few days and then wake up, while others will sleep the entire time.
2) Its possible that they will sleep in one spot more then others because they will feel more comfortable and protected in that one spot. If your beardie is asleep for an entire two or three days without waking up then you should turn off the lights and keep them off unless your temps get below 60F. Don't worry about him getting too cold because when they wake up they will sit in their normal basking spot and wait for you to turn the lights on for them.
3) Maybe not for good but for now.
4) It is normal because whena beardie brumates they are in fact shutting down their bodies. So don't worry about it and you don't have to wake them up to give them a bath. Also they won't poop as much because they slow down on their eating sotheirr won't be much to poo out. And yes they are related.
