Reptiles don't hibernate, they brumate. You don't brumate in the first year but are you planning on breeding them? If not, there is no reason to ever do it other than maybe saving a couple of bucks on food.

My black soils did it there first year some just do it if you keep the temps the same the ambient temp of the room will naturally drop wit the cold weather and they sense it so to keep them from burminating ya really have to watc the temps and raise them

so if i want them to have a better chance in breeding say next year i should brumate themthis winter
