Burmese black mountain turtles can live in the wild or in captivity. The growth state of wild Burmese black mountain turtles has a great relationship with the surrounding environment. Due to the influence of climate, Burmese black mountain turtles will start to reduce their appetite when the temperature drops, and then gradually stop eating and become inactive, that is, enter a state of hibernation. When the temperature begins to rise in the spring of the following year, they will slowly wake up from their hibernation state and slowly start to eat and move.

When Burmese black mountain turtles are raised in captivity, they can also be hibernated in winter. They can be cultured without heating, and they will naturally enter a hibernation state when the water temperature is low. Of course, there will also be breeders who don't want to let the Burmese black mountain turtles hibernate.
