Sure sounds like they want a break from the active life and need a cool down for some winter chillin'. Just make sure they're kept warm for 2-3 weeks after their last meal to ensure they have nothing in their guts that would cause problems once their metabolisms slow down during brumation. They will need clean water throughout their dormant period. Brumation time is actually a nice break from the weekly feedings, frequent cleanings, etc. Good luck!
