Brumation?

[Phantom240]

hey guys, I have a question regarding brumation. I have two geckos, both female. One is an adult, and quite chunky, the other is maybe seven months old, and seems to be of healthy heft. They're housed separately. My older gecko is eating like there's no tomorrow, even though I have to tong feed her (bad aim, and I suspect terrible vision). My younger girl has hardly eaten for the past month. She's consumed maybe eight dubia that were maybe 1/2-3/4" long. Her tail hasn't changed a bit, though. I suspect that she's in brumation. She's still alert, still making solid poops after she eats, and aside from being a little more apprehensive than usual, nothing has really changed. I can't measure her floor temps accurately (don't have an infrared thermometer), so I don't know if lower temps are playing a role. She isn't hanging out in her warm hide exclusively, which tells me it isn't excessively cool in there.

Have you ever considered your one may have Enigma Syndrome?
Humm.. idk about the other, your sure you can't get temps?

Not with any kind of certainty, as I the temp probe doesn't want to sit on the tile properly.

As for my adult, I don't think she has the syndrome. She's a RAPTOR, and doesn't display any of the other characteristics.

Ahh, I have seen a lot of people have a gecko like yours that have bad aim but not the right morph... and if you feel the tile does it feel warm?

It feels warm. Not hot, but warm. About the same as my adult's enclosure. I have her temp probe sitting in a relief cut out of her fake rock hide, so it stays pressed against the tile, and it reads 92 degrees.
