Garters respond to a variety of cues for hibernation. Duffy may be right about photo-period, but my snake room has no windows and the lights are on timers and some wc garters go off food around this time anyway. I do think hibernating at 55 degrees keeps their metabolism too high resulting in lower fertility. But if you aren't trying to breed them, this may not be a concern. In any case, keep track of what works and what doesn't and share your results. That way we all learn.
