Here's an online radio interview that he's done.

Yea I was going to write more, but I didn't want to screw it up further. I read a long article the other day on it, and how they basking temp doesn't get lowered, stays around 35c all year. Ambient temps drop, and number of hours the basking spot is available drops down until it reaches only an hour or 2. Since in the wild they don't technically 'brumate' and are active and basking on occasion.
