H.triedrus brumation?

How do you brumate your H.triedrus? This was my first year of having this species and I have not had any experience with this part. I am assuming it is the same as the other geckos from the middile east, but I could use some confirmation.

Thank you,
Rob

Rob,
while you've ot Jon's attention ask him about burmation details on triedrus, he'll know for sure. By the way, you're a bastard - I mean that in the kindest way possible. You know exactly what I'm talking about. (congrats on the newbies)

My wife is'nt to happy though,
Rob

ya, I've known about them for a little while now, but I couldn't figure out for the life of me how I was going to come up with that much cash/trade. I am getting a good amount of stuff from Jon pretty soon though!

congrats again, you lucky SOB. Put me in line for hatchlings.

Will do, but to make it to the top you need to buy my triedrus lol.

If you have a spare female I'll take her off your hands, other than that, no can do!

OK I heard back from Jon he says,

"You can shorten the light cycle (if you use lights), decrease ambient
night/day temps by about 10 degrees F., lower feeding frequency to once/week
and leave like this for 6-12 weeks (whatever time frame befits you). Bring
everything back up to par in a progression of 2-4 weeks until back within
breeding season parameters."

I'm going to have to keep buying stuff from him so I can have a great resource.
