I live in Spain, the days shorten and temperatures have dropped slightly. Daily temperatures may well reach 23-24ºC and night temperatures 16ºC.
They are less active, stay in the "cave" and eat less.
They know what is coming.
Occasionally the male goes after a female and tries to mount her.
How about other keepers, are your animals preparing for the winter already?

Well, we have been getting some cooler nights on and off. The temps are still hitting the 90s F during the day, and down to the 70s F at night. A couple of mornings were actually in the mid to low 60s F, but those temps didnt last very long. It was dry for a couple of weeks but some showers are passing through. My male does seem to be digging in more, but not sure if its due to changes in season or the dryness. My female is still active and personable as ever. I did see more head bobbing and courting from the male a couple of weeks ago, which had ceased during the hottest parts of the summer a month or so ago.

These guys never cease to amaze me!!
