Time for hibernation!

So the weather here up in the Northeast is starting to get a little chilly and my parsons are beginning to go into lazy sleep mode. Here is a shot of one of my males (probably the last shot of the season).

Lots of sitting around like a lazy patriarch and waiting for water or food to come to him. LOL Typical hibernation routine for me is lowered temps, shorter days and less intake of food. Activity is a lot less, but they do still move around a bit, just not as often as they do in the warmer months.

Awesome cham. How lazy do they get during hibernation? Will he eat this winter? I've been trying to research parsonii care for a long time but it is hard because I can't find that much info on them. Any sites or books you can recommend?
