winter temps and hibernation

[matty-jungle]

hi, i have a blue tongue lizard and was just wondering if it was nesscary to drop the temperature down in winter and allow it to hibernate, or if it was ok to maintain the same temperature used in the warmer months.

thanks

Is it an adult?
(Oh and reptiles don't hibernate, they brumate )

No need to cool at that age, keep the heat on as per usual each day. Even as adults they should still be offered the usual temps each day just for a shorter period (a few hours each morning).
