Default Horsefield help

My 7 year old horsfield Yoda has recently become very very lethargic .... Hes hardly eaten and since last sun not eaten much at all or move even

He lives in the shed on a large tort table with megaray bulb on soil with hot end and cold end - shed seems to get an overall temp of 15-18 degrees with hotter under his bulb all all he seems to do is dig himself down into the cold end and stay there ....

He does have a large outdoor weed area but due to weather he hasnt been outside in it.

Is he trying to hibernate? If he is im a bit worried as I obviously havent monitored his food intake and everything ... should I bring him indoors to over winter?

He did hiss when I picked him up to check him but he doesnt open his eyes

Hes never hibernated before
