its not hiberntation, brumation is when they just slow down, hibernation is a complete stand still

Hey carpetsnake, I think photoperiod has as much to do with brumation as the cooler temps. If they are exposed to the natural day lengths often they'll shut down even though the temps are the same. A light source on a timer can sort it.
