Savannah monitors live in tropical places where temperatures never get cold enough to require hibernation. The animals are forced to reduce activity during very dry periods, but the never become torpid and are awake throughout the year.

Thats a quote from Daniel Bennets book.

Might i suggest you purchase this as soon as possible.
