I didn't have time to sit and write up anything. I instead just left it short and wanted to show how silly it is to think that way. I have always found it odd when people tell me you have to cool them down and hibernate them or they will die or they won't reproduce unless you do it.

I think there is a big difference between an enviromental change forcing an adaptation. Then seeking out a cold place to hibernate out of choice.

I do have ranges of temps in my setups but I do not have anything I would say is cold. They do seek out areas to heat up and cool off as well as retain moisture. But I have never seen them do anything I would call hibernation. I also do not plan on forcing them into anything as suggested in a post above (monitor in a shoebox put into a cool place).
