I've kept box turtles all my life, and thought some tortoises might be nice, I don't think I'd be getting any very soon, just eventually. Are there tortoises that hibernate or do they all have to come in during the winter? I live in Northern Virgina, so it gets fairly cold (the coldest night that we had this winter was about 10 degrees F)
