Yes! It's like he knows (Florida) winter is coming. My heart says he didn't make it, but I am trying to remain positive. Last year I misted him A LOT to try and got him out of it...I even used mating call sounds from youtube. lol When he came out he looked quite malnourished and ate a ton. This past summer he had it rough- I tried adding sphagnum moss in addition to the ecoearth to help with humidity and he ended up getting mites in his cage, and some other "mystery illness" the vet or pathologist couldn't figure out. I would research estivation/brumation so you know what to expect as the first time he turned into a hard shell 10 years ago I was perplexed.
Thank you for the well wishes. I will let you know what happens with Kermit.
