Two out of three sleepy little lizards? A question......

Howdy!

Two of my little ones have apparently tucked in for the winter while the other still gets up every day and runs around like a little freak. Should I leave the heat and lights on for her or induce brumation for her as well? I have a 55 gal with several well secured and stacked slabs of flagstone which they love to hide under. The other two have not come out since the cool weather hit last week so I assume they are napping. Just FYI, I am running a 75Watt flood and a 75 watt mercury vapor which bring the temps to a toasty 105-110F hot spot and use a regular incandescent bulb for ambiant heating of 85-90F.

**Also**, I need as much good JuJu as you all can send today. I am going for my second interview at the Zoo today, my dream job!!! Always wanted to be a zoo keeper but since I am a mere Network Admin i will get the best of both worlds and a cool place to have lunch every day Everyone needs computers and with them a person to fix them as well!

As far as the little female goes...you could shut ambient lights off, to get an overall cool tank and still allow her to bask if she wants. Some moist, cool, filter sand may solve all your problems...put a little in your pocket for your interview today...toss a little over the shoulder...you may even want to mention it during the inteview :P LMAO
