Yes thanks, but how do you hibernate them in a climate that doesn't get too cold? I mean, I know for such climates you're supposed to get them some kind of detritis or muck to burrow in. How about for climates that don't really get below freezing but cold enough for them to stop eating?

Should you just let them nap at the bottom, without any covering? Are there any methods of having them hibernate, like something for them to burrow in? Or is just open water fine with such turtles in a mildly cold climate?
