If you set him free in a large body of water he will hibernate
at the temperatures cool down.

I do not recommend trying to hibernate turtles if you are
new to them. The ponds must have certain criteria in order
to successfully allow them to hibernate. ie: depth or water,
etc.

If you plan on keeping this guy and your pond is smaller
I would keep him in the house in the winter and outside
during the summer unless you have done alot of research and
your pond meets the criteria.

Hope this helps
Linda
