For about a month now, Ocho has been very lethargic. After asking some questions here we determined that he was having his first hibernation, gave hime some hide-boxes, lowered his lighting schedule, etc.
Thing is, it's kinda half-hearted. He hangs out in his box all day, sometimes just laying there with his eyes open. Sometimes he just sits there all day with his head sticking out and watches. He comes out to eat about once a week. He has not yet gone into a full hibernation.
I wonder if it's because we live in texas and it just isn't cold enough for him to want to hibernate as much? I do think it a little odd that he chose the hiding spot under the heatlamp, rather than in the cool side of the tank. I originally put paper towels in his hiding spots to make them a little more cozy, but he just dragged them out.
Is this partial hibernation fairly normal, or is there something else I could be doing?
