Lizard fat(ter) dumb, and happy...

Lizard "gone"...under mulch now three days...brumation, right?
QUESTIONS:
1) What about a full gut...very well fed until disappearing? What's the horror story here? Wake her up? Start over?
2) Tank's @ room temperature...just turn off lights and wait or move tank to basement @ approx. 55°F?
3) How long to brumate? How and when to wake her up?
Thanks in advance.
