Expert Answer

Red-eared sliders typically hibernate for about 5 months, usually entering hibernation in November and ending around March to April. The timing is not fixed, as climates differ by region; some areas cool earlier and the turtles hibernate sooner, generally entering hibernation once temperatures fall below 15 C. After they hibernate, the owner should move them to a dim environment and spray them regularly to keep their surroundings moist.
