As my hermans is only small and there was so many mixed opinion regarding hibernation I decided to do it anyways but only 6 weeks. I woke him up this morning. Around 6.30 am. Let him warm up over a couple hours on tortoise table away from the heat lamp so the cooler end which is mostly sound 16 degrees give or take a bit as it’s in my house so basic room temp. Am please with the outcome as my young hermans is now been bathed fed and is currently storming about his table like never before . Perfect condition. Fingers crossed all is well!!
