I know there's many threads about hibernation. Though it's such a sensible and particular subject that i won't take the risk of something happening with my Juancha. So with all due respect here's another post with hibernaiton questions 
Ok so it's starting to get cold down here now, and Juancha is showing signs of inactivity and is possibly starting the process of hibernation. The other day for example she slept all day, buried in the mulch below her house.
Thinking that B/W lives just around here in the wild i thought at first that maybe winter climate wouldn't be a problem for her. Thing is that min temp here can drop to 25 - 30 sometimes during the night.
I have no doubt that the wild ones can handle that...but the thing is that juancha doesnt have a "proper" burrow below ground.
It can get cold in her actual enclosure....i'm guessing around 40 inside during the night if i close it up. The thing is....would it be safe for her?? Should i install a halogen heat rig just in case?? That way the temp would be about 50 - 60.
What do you think guys??
