Why don't someone write up a good hibernation summary . Example , cage size , substrate , temps , how long , day start , day end , etc . Experts only Or just point to a good link .

Not an expert yet but I got a few years n a very large group of lizards so I'm learning really quick.

Why don't you buy a book?
Dr Seward's n Dan Beck's are excellent reference resources. Whats so mystifying about hibernation bro?
Condition your animals well. Stop feed twoo weeks before cooling. Keep a decent size water dish in WHATEVER ya choose to hibernate them in I use newspaper medium works fine..... Drop them down to 52-58 for three months somewhere dark n quiet. Wake them up n be ready to feed the heck out of them. I check a few my finicky animals weight monthly while hibernating to assure they are not dehydrating but the whole process is really simple.

I bought Becks book "Biology of Gila Monsters & Beaded Lizards .
I am only 15 pages into it because I just received it Tuesday . It really seems interesting so far & I find it hard to put down at times .

Also , I want to be able to breed both Gila's & Beaded's one day . I prefer Banded's & H.h.h. as these are my favorites . I getting ready to move into a larger house to where I can also breed Argus monitors in my basement . I will build a 12'x12' room out of block in my garage for the Argus . Thanks for the help & I will also pic up the 2nd book soon .

Turn out the lights and heat. Let them cool to the low 60s. I go for 4 months.
