Help with brumation

I have a few dragons I want to induce brumation for. I've cut down already to a 6 hour light cycle for 2 weeks and my dragons are still up and about. Thinking of turning the lights off completely, looking for some tips/advice
Thanks

personally i wouldn't force but that's just me,some dragons don't even brumate,let them do there thing,that's what i did,when i noticed my dragon who did it's first brumation 2 months ago i put a white shirt over his hide when he started to sleep,then lights off and hes been sleeping since,wake him up every 2-3 weeks to soak then he goes back to sleep or stay awake for a day.

I would lower the temps and check if he/she is sleeping all the time.

If they are, move them to another container and its pretty much cruise control from there. soak them if you feel paranoid, but they should be fine for a week or two.
