Thanks
Thank you. Is it common for them to go into a kind of hibernation?

Not sure
I know that the adults are active throughout the winter in northern Florida.

He was totally dormant
I picked it up, poked at it, even accedintally dropped it once. And I had to dig it out of the ground a little bit. It never moved until it got the hot water onto it. Then it freaked out.
