The red-faced egg turtle is a species that can be raised artificially. When breeding them, we need to pay attention to winter, which is a very special period. They can hibernate or not, depending on whether the water temperature around them is suitable. But generally speaking, they don't hibernate. Red-faced egg turtles are native to tropical areas, and the water temperature in winter is not too low, so they may not hibernate under natural conditions.
If they are raised in captivity, they can adjust the water temperature around them to determine whether they enter a state of hibernation. It is suggested that red-faced egg turtles should not be allowed to hibernate, because they are very sensitive to the environment in hibernation, and once careless, red-faced egg turtles are easy to die. Therefore, when breeding in winter, the water temperature can be adjusted to more than 20 degrees, and the red-faced egg turtle can survive the winter safely.
As mentioned above, the red-faced egg turtle in its original place of origin generally does not hibernate, because even in winter, the water temperature is relatively high. However, red-faced egg turtles were later introduced to other countries and regions, and whether they hibernate in winter depends on the water temperature conditions in winter. For example, the red-faced egg turtles living in the northern part of our country, the water temperature is still relatively low in winter, at this time they can enter the state of hibernation in winter. However, the time of hibernation is not certain, it may be in November or December. They usually end their hibernation in March or April of the following year, and the specific time is uncertain, depending on the water temperature conditions.
