In Reply to: Re: HIBERNATING ISSUES PLEASE- I'M CONFUSED! posted by EJ on August 15, 2000 at 13:39:54:

: Yes, I asked about hibernating, but when you said
"Overwintering a tortoise or any reptile is not an easy task."
I got a little confused...
If it is not an easy task, and hibernating the first year is probably not a good idea... Then I give up!
I am going to overwinter him, cause I am scared to death I will lose him... It may be hard (cause the indoors are not as big as the outdoors, but Colorado has been known to have it's 70 degree days... So maybe he can go out then) Any suggestions on overwintering -
My house is not that big... and I will have him in as large an enclosure as possible with the works (lighting/heat/etc...)
Your point of view seems to be the consensus.... And I am too new to this to take any chances.
THANKS!
