I would just cool him down for a month. It's normal since its getting to be winter. Just try cooling him down for a month and then warm him up (after you let him empty his guts fully). I mean, if he wants to brumate and stops eating, what else is there to do? Andy

Finding a female is going to be pointless if you don't let them brumate.

That picture doesn't look like a radix to me. Although it does look like an eastern (T.s. sirtalis). I think you just have your scientific names mixed. Good luck.
