The withered leaf turtle is a kind of turtle species originating in the northern part of South America, and they were introduced into China later. They can live in the wild or be raised in captivity. The way they are raised in the wild is different from that in captivity, such as whether they will hibernate in winter. If they are wild, they may hibernate during the winter. In this state of hibernation, their activity will decrease, and they will not eat at this time.
If it is raised in captivity, it is different. It can make the dead leaf turtles enter the state of hibernation, or it can heat them to grow normally and not enter the state of hibernation. It is suggested that they should not be allowed to hibernate, because if they hibernate, they will be very sensitive to the environment, once the environment is not suitable, they will easily die. Therefore, in winter, you can use heating rods and other tools to artificially heat up, do not let them hibernate.
If in a natural state, they will enter hibernation in November or December, and end hibernation in February or March. However, this time is not necessarily, will be affected by the environment. If the water temperature is always high, they will enter hibernation later and end hibernation earlier. On the contrary, if the water temperature is low, they enter hibernation earlier, end hibernation later, and generally hibernate for a long time. In addition, if in our country, their hibernation time will also have regional differences, in the south of the region they began to hibernate later.
