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/re â¦ gion 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.amsters can go into this hibernating state and they have retained the ability to do so in captivity. A true hibernation is a state of dormancy that allows an animal to conserve energy during the winter months when food is in short supply.
Winter is not a time of year that people normally think about reptiles. In the northern hemisphere, at least, reptiles are out of sight during the winter months, and (at least in theory) ought to be out of mind.Itâs no surprise to me, for example, that Gartersnake.info gets much less traffic during this time.inter mortality among garter snakes is high â which is to say that a lot of hibernating garter snakes donât make it through the winter. One Manitoba study pegged the winter mortality rate at as much as one-third to one-half of the population (Rossman, Ford and Seigel 1996, 79).
