How many spotteds are in this waterland tub and how big. If too many spotteds are in one setup, some may be getting stressed and going on land to get away. Also I would say no for the hibernation, at 68 degrees most spots will be active, especially if you have a sun light on. I agree with ken either warm the cage up or cool it down. An in between temp(in the low60's) can be really dangerous for any turtle. There metabolism is still going but there appetite is not.
