Under normal circumstances, very few people let the snake-necked turtle hibernate. The long-necked turtle 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 long-bodied snake-necked tortoise inhabits small coastal rivers, wetlands or Swamp, strong aquatic habitat, can dive into the bottom mud. It is a completely aquatic turtle, and even hibernation or mating is completed in the water.
