Clyde has been doing great this year. He is 14 month old now, and as a fast grower, he is at 173 grams.
He has been living in his glass terrarium with a MVB light, CHE, a LED white light for plants. Humidity is ranging at 60 to 75. He was active the whole year (I got him in January at 3 month old). He got to walk around in the living room during summer quite often under our watching eyes…
However, since the mid November, he started burrying himself a lot, then just don't want to wakeup anymore. I tried to raise the night temperature a little, leave the lights on longer during the day, but it doesn't help. So far I've been waking him up with warm soak every two days, he would eat very little and go back to sleep right away….
Is he trying to hibernate? We live in Canada, and the rooms are constantly at about 22 C. I read some posts and maybe one theory could make sense, that maybe it's the shortening of the daylight that triggered the hibernation. Clyde's terrarium lights have been staying the same, but he can see daylight through glass though…
If it is hibernation, should I allow it and put him in the fridge? Is it too young to be safe to hibernate? He didn't hibernate at all last winter when he was 3 month old…
Thanks for any help you can give in advance!
