Answer 2

Reptiles do not hibernate, they go through a process known as "brumating/brumate" Reptiles are exothermic and require a stable ambient temperature to thrive. When a country/region is in it's winter months, where temperatures are slightly lower and the amount of sunlight is cut down, a gecko will go through brumation. Their metabolism slows down significantly and they reduce the amount of energy exerted on a day to day basis. Feedings will usually cut down and females are taking a break from the breeding season.

Answer 3

Reptiles do not hibernate, mammals do. Species of reptile bromate during colder weather. Geckos kept in captivity do not need to bromate as their temperatures are regulated in our homes at all times. If your gargoyle is looking sluggish and not acting its normal self, ensure that the: temperature and moisture is regulated at the proper temps, their diet is consisting of a MRP and live food and that they have ample space to climb as they are arboreal species of gecko.
