D. filiformis Red

[Lauderdale]

From sunny and warm South Florida; My D. filiformis Red formed a hibernacula and I am hesitant to put it in the fridge with the rest of my sleeping beauties because Tamlin has not had good luck with this and if he has not...I surely will not.
I am thinking of putting it outside in a large covered cooler with a container of frozen water at night and then leaving the top off during the day...cold nights...I am guessing 40 degrees...and cool...probably low 70...sunny days.
Anybody think this will work?  

I need to make a pretty quick decesion as I have already doused it with Clearys.

Keep it cold but above freezing would be my attack. Most importantly, keep the photoperiod at natural daylength for the season.

Hello,
my filformis 'Red' just did that same. Im keeping it cool, but not damp. It outdoors under a bench, so it gets plenty air to keep damp-off and fungus at bay.
