The Argentines go through a brumation period but the Colombians do not. I do not wake up my Args but let them cycle naturally on their own. Your mileage may vary.
My Colombian will stay buried for a couple of days at a time here and there year round, but she's not brumating. I have uncovered her before to check on her, but I generally let her do her own thing. Sometimes I find that she comes out to bask for like an hour and then hides again. She's an interesting critter...
