Expert Answer

A hibernating turtle needs a quiet, safe place with a suitable temperature, best kept at 1–10°C, and some humidity to avoid waking, dehydration, or frostbite.

Use a moist medium like sand or coconut soil and mist it regularly during hibernation.

Crucially, spray water regularly so the turtle doesn’t dry out and die.
