The wild res in southern Illinois dont hibernate , they brumate.It gets very cold here but , on warm winter days they will surface and get some rays. I dont believe they feed all winter(bout 4 months}. Snapping turtles are seen crawling on the bottom of frozen ponds on sunny days.They are semi active but dont need to feed
