Most will brumate naturally, however when winter comes, drop the heat lamp hours. At the moment it should be about 12 on, 12 of, gradually drop it, say 10 on, 14 off for a few weeks, then 8 on 16 off. When the weather warms up, gradually increase again.

Unless your night time temps get under 10-15, I wouldn't worry about them being too cold - thats what brumation is all about, they go into a period of not using energy and their organs slow down (so to speak).
