Under normal circumstances, very few people let the giant snake-necked turtle hibernate. The common giant snake-necked turtle on the market is actually a flat-headed and long-necked turtle produced in Australia. This tortoise does not hibernate in its native place. If you really want to let it hibernate, you should start to reduce the amount of feeding in the fall to clear the stomach. When winter comes, treat it like a tortoise or a tortoise hibernates.

The giant snake-necked turtle in swamps, lakes, tributaries of rivers, and slow-flowing water can be found in all waterways. The turtles may migrate to land in the summer and are often found near water on rainy days. Snake-necked turtles nest in spring or early summer, laying 8 to 24 eggs, and the incubation period is about 3 to 4 months.
