Hibernation During the late fall or early winter, you should reduce the dragons photoperiod from 12 to 14 hours of daylight, down to 10 hours of daylight and 14 hours of darkness. The temperature during the day should be reduced to 75 - 78 F, with a warmer area under an incandescent light that reaches 80-84 F. The night time temperature should be reduced to 68 -74 F. Instead of feeding your dragons everyday or every second day, the feeding schedule should be reduced to once per week. This period of lower temperatures and reduced light should last for approximately two months. At the end of the hibernation period, the water dragons should be place back on their normal photoperiod of at least 12 hours of light, temps of 84-88 F during the day and 75-80 F during the night. Feeding should once again be increased to daily, every second day or bi-weekly feedings depending upon the age of your dragon. I believe they go into some kind of hibernation information found at www.icomm.ca/dragon/breeding.htm#Hibernation

Yeah, I believe he is going into hibernation. The temp here as dropped. Night lights don't help keep the temp up. He is still alert but he does seem to be in a state of hibernation.
