Brazilian tortoises release water best when hibernating, because they all live in water under normal circumstances. Although they occasionally climb to the shore to bask in the sun, they will not leave the water for too long. Moreover, when wild Brazilian tortoises hibernate, they also choose a shallow water area, so artificial Brazilian tortoises should also hibernate in water.
Although Brazilian tortoises hibernate in water, breeders need to pay attention to the water level during hibernation. After they hibernate, they will no longer move, and the breeder needs to control the water level below the carapace to ensure that they can breathe normally.
2. What should Brazilian tortoises pay attention to when hibernating1.

When you are about to enter hibernation, you need to stop feeding food. Let them empty the food in the digestive tract before they go into hibernation.
2. When Brazilian tortoise hibernates, breeders should pay attention to water quality. Although they don't pollute the water seriously, breeders need to change the water once a month. When changing water, pay attention to gentle movements to avoid disturbing their hibernation.
3. Finally, pay attention to check their bodies to avoid illness and death during hibernation. But it can't be checked frequently, which easily disturbs their hibernation.
