The white-lipped mud turtle is a species of turtle that can be raised artificially, and there are also species distributed in the wild. The wild white-lipped mud turtle is native to the Americas and has a wide distribution. The climate conditions in these areas are different, and the temperature state in winter will be quite different. White-lipped mud turtles can hibernate in principle, but whether they enter hibernation depends on water temperature conditions. In some areas, due to the high temperature, the white-lipped mud turtle can not enter the state of hibernation in winter. In areas where temperatures are low during the winter, the white-lipped mud turtle hibernates.
Artificial breeding of white-lipped mud turtles is different, of course, they can also hibernate, adjust the water temperature conditions around them can be. However, it is recommended not to let them hibernate, because when they are in hibernation, there will be a certain risk, because at this time their resistance will be reduced, it is easy to get sick.
Wild white-lipped mud turtles may enter a state of hibernation in winter due to lower temperatures, but the specific time of hibernation is different. If the temperature drops earlier in winter, the white-lipped mud turtle enters hibernation earlier and ends hibernation later. On the contrary, if the temperature drops later in winter and rises earlier in spring, the white-lipped mud turtle enters hibernation later and ends hibernation earlier. Specifically, they generally begin hibernation in November and December, and end hibernation around March.
