I'm sorry, but i dont think that turtles are to be kept like "disposable" pets wich you can put away when you get bored of it. When one chooses to have a pet turt, then he/she is commited to that turtle for the rest of that turtles life. Rather than putting it away when you get bored, i suggest putting in up for adoption...

I think what you mean is most probably a hibernating turtle, like say, for instance, RES or painted turtles. For hibernation, some people choose to keep the turtle in the freezer (of course the temperature is adjusted) insetad of hibernating it in a pond/backyard, wich have more hazards.

Another thing is, painted turtle eggs are normaly laid by the female, & when they hatch, its almost winter, so, they stay in their nest and hibernate (yes, they freeze in the snow), and emerge again when the temperature rises.
