i would not hibernate RES in washington. I live in seattle, and the weather here is way too cold for turtles that live in the south eastern US. You could hibernate western painteds because they are native here, but i wouldnt do RES's. I wouldnt even keep them outside other than than in the summertime. Its like 50degrees outside right now. way tooooo cold
