My desert tortoise Bill has been in hibernation since early december. He was nice and fat and drank just before he went into his box (shoe box with shredded paper inside of another box with shredded paper. I have a thermometer and keep the box between 35 and 60 degrees as best as possible (using an ice pack when it gets hot here in so cal). my question is how long I should keep him in and if it seems as if i'm doing things right so far. He's in the garage and i've checked a couple of times to make sure he is alive and hasn't peed the box. any tips or help would be much appreciated.
thanks,
Jared
