It depends on the lizard. My first collared brumated just fine at room temperature, around 70 degrees. He curled up in his hide spot and didn't come out for a couple months. My second and third, though, are sitting in a fridge right now because they didn't go completely to sleep; they got groggy, but they were still wandering around the cage pretty regularly. The fridge stays between 50 and 55 degrees, and they're not doing much wandering around these days.
