Greg, is that a picture you took the day she came out? The grass looks green. Depending on where you live, a turtle may not reach a state of deep torpor and may come out if it is thirsty. Be sure to have water available at all times if you live in the warm southern or coastal areas of the US.

If you expect a sudden cold snap and she has not reburied herself-just bring her in for a few days. No need to keep her warm and do not feed her, but let her soak in a shallow pan of water. Put her back ousidet when the danger is over and there is a window of decent weather and see if she will dig down again.
