Use a digital thermometer not one of the dial types. Do you ever see him basking in the light?

What are the ambient temps of the tank, not just the basking spot?

I'm thinking if you got a tight beam bulb and there is no other heat source for the tank you may have the basking spot hitting 130 degrees and the rest of the tank at 75 degrees so either he fries or is way too cold.

On the other hand from what I've read 9 mos is not out of the question for brumation. Make sure you accurately check those temps, though.

Good luck!!
