Hi all,

This is my first post on these forums. I have had a leo for the past 11 years. Typically she has been very healthy and active, but I recently moved her enclosure to my son's room. She was initially not bothered by the move, she was eating crickets and superworms (2-3) every day. Lately, though, she has taken to hanging out in her cool hide and has not come out or eaten very much at all. She is awake in there, but very much inactive. Looks sleepy/drowsy. This has been for the past 2 weeks. I noticed that it was a little cold in there, so I measured the temp and it is at 95degrees or so on the warm side (UTH, measured at the substrate). She is sitting in the cool side which has a temp in the low 70s, high 60s. The temp stays on 24hours, the light is 12 on/12 off. She is also now in a room with a window, so she is getting more affected by the length of day now. Is it possible she's hibernating?

Thanks/

your temps on the warm end seems fine.During the winter months some of my leos eat less.Monitor her weight and as long as she doesnt lose a ton of weight she'll be fine
