Yes, bearded dragons do brumate with their eyes open. During the brumation period, bearded dragons enter a state of hibernation where they become less active and their metabolic rate slows down. While they may appear to be sleeping, their eyes remain open, although they may often be partially or fully closed. This behavior is completely normal and is a result of the reptile’s unique physiology. It is important to note that bearded dragons may still occasionally blink or move their eyes slightly while brumating, but this should not be a cause for concern.
