When I lower the temps for brumation they seem to hunker down together, but alot of the mexicana and montane kings will move about even in 40F temperature......Makes me wonder if I should warm them up and feed them or provide an isolated hot spot like others do to getula during "brumation."

Given my experience over the last three years I would suggest that if you kept a hot spot and fed them through the winter fertility would suffer. I do not fault communal housing as the cause of my results. I believe the prime cause to be the lack of an adequate cycling period. Given heat AND food the animals just didn't sync up.
