I have two Salamandra Giglioli, sub adults (8-10 month olds) I want to start hibernation/ brumation next winter so I am doing my research now. How long does everyone keep them down for? and at what temps?

Thanks in advance for you advice!

I know no one has responded to this but this is better late than never. Most people don't brumate them. Fires seem to benefit from seasonal changes in daylight duration and temperature, but they can be active and eating all year round in the right conditions. All of mine generally get down to around 8 degrees Celsius/46F in the winter and up to a max of about 23 degrees C/73F in the summer.
