The Harrella mud turtle has species that live in the wild and can also be raised in captivity at home. Wild lalela mud turtles are generally able to hibernate. When winter comes, they will try to shrink their heads into the soil and enter a state of hibernation. In fact, when the temperature is not suitable, they will enter a dormant state, not only in winter, but also in summer when the temperature is too high, they will aestivate.
If the Harrellan mud turtles are kept in captivity, of course, they can also hibernate in winter and directly adjust the water temperature around them. When the water temperature drops below 15 degrees, the tortoise can basically go into hibernation. But if the water temperature is still relatively high, they will not hibernate and will remain relatively active. During their hibernation period, the temperature should not be too low, and it is better to keep it above 10 degrees.
As mentioned above, the Harrella mud turtle can hibernate, but the exact time after which they begin hibernation is uncertain, depending on the surrounding water temperature conditions. The distribution of this turtle is relatively wide, such as in the south and north of China. The temperature conditions in different places are naturally different, so the time when they naturally enter hibernation is not certain. If the temperature drops earlier in winter, they will hibernate earlier. Under the condition of artificial breeding, it is relatively simple, and the specific time of entering and ending hibernation can be adjusted by adjusting the water temperature in the environment.
