I'm curious if anyone here keeps CA wood turtles, Rhinoclemmys p. manni.

I have what I think are 1.1 they both have approx. carapace lengths of 4.5".

Can anyone comment on likely eventual size (in captivity) and how long it will take them to reach sexual maturity/max size?

I am about to start preparing most of my reptiles for hibernation/brumation. I was going to keep the turtles going through the winter, but they seem to be spending more time buried in the substrate over the last week or so?

Also, can anyone comment on appropriate temps; ambient, basking spot and water.

Sorry for all the questions, but if you don't ask...

Cheers,
Mark.
