Last night our temps here dropped and we had strong winds. When I woke up this morning The temps in his cage were 60 on the warm side and 55 on the cold side. My thermometers are stuck to the back of the aquarium so I'm not real sure how accurate these temps are. He has an uth. Usually he stays on the warm side of his viv. Today he's curled up on the warm side under his substrate (this is a first) will he be warm enough? our winter temps haven't even started yet. I'm going to purchase a ceramic heater after christmas for him. I'm worried he'll brumate. What do you all think? :santa:
 
A few days at those lower temps isn't going to cause any problems. He's probably a bit warmer right over the UTH (which is where he is). Don't feed him until the temps are back to normal and watch for a regurg if he has eaten recently. Once the temps get back up to normal, he'll be fine. Give him at least several days at the warmer temps before you try to feed him again.
