[/font]We have a sulcata that is a year old, maybe a little bit older, that we recently moved from an 80 gallon fish tank to a house out in the backyard. The tank had all of the proper lighting and heat lamps but Sherman was getting too big for that small of a space. His house in the backyard has the big red heat bulb (150w I think) for nighttime but we figured he wouldn't need anything else because he'd be out walking around during the day. We live in Arizona so the daytime temps are going up. However, he hasn't come out of his house for the past day or two. Could he be hybernating even though it really isn't winter anymore? Nighttime temps here are in the high 40's, slowly coming in to the low 50's and the temp in his house seems to stay right around 70-72 at night. Is that too cold? Could he be in shock from having a constant heat source to having to adjust to the colder temps at night? Any advice/suggestions would be awesome!
