I keep Jango in an area of my basement that has no outside light. I keep his(her?) temp/lighting constant so I doubt very much he will hibernate. He is still very active and eating like a pig. Normally, it takes shortening light cycles and slow average cooling to get herps to hibe. Some seem to key off of the shorter days, some the cooling temps. My guess is, it all depends on how cold tolerant the herp is. I've had toads that were still active well after the first frost.
