The suitable temperature for spotted pond turtles to grow is 22-30 ℃. When the temperature is lower than 18 ℃, their activity and food intake will decrease. At this time, breeders need to transfer them indoors to prepare for the winter. When the temperature is below 15 ℃, they will stop moving and eating, and then slowly enter hibernation as the temperature drops. After they go into hibernation, the breeder needs to lower the water level, and the height of the water level can be controlled above the abdominal nail. There is no need to change water in large quantities at ordinary times. If the water quality deteriorates, a small amount of water can be changed. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the water temperature cannot be lower than 10 ℃, otherwise the spotted pond turtle will freeze to death during hibernation. If conditions permit, the water temperature can be kept between 10-14 ℃.

spotted pond turtles don't need to be fed for winter, because they will replenish enough energy for winter before hibernation, and they won't eat even if their breeders feed them. Because they don't wake up when they hibernate, they don't need to be fed. Moreover, if they don't eat the fed food, it will pollute the water quality after a long time, and the breeder can't change the water frequently, otherwise it will affect their hibernation, so the breeder doesn't need to feed the spotted pond turtle when it winters.
