How do turtles hibernate?

This is an article written by netizens about the hibernation of black boot turtles. Please refer to = = = Many turtle friends who have black boots or want to have black boots will ask, "Can black boots hibernate?" Need to hibernate? "Let me talk about my own farming experience. I have three black boots (you can read the post I posted last week, with pictures, hehe), which are not big. I've had it for almost two years. I live in Shenzhen. It was the winter from late 2007 to early 2008. It has been a long and cold winter for the south. I let my black boots hibernate this winter. Because I found that the weather was a little colder, they stopped eating and just found a place to sleep (I usually put them on the balcony for free-range). I also read some information on the Internet, saying that Black Boots don't have the habit of hibernating at home, which means they won't or won't hibernate. But I think they have stopped eating. Does this mean they need to hibernate? With this in mind, I tried. I opened a big old cardboard box at home (that is, the kind that used to hold TV), rubbed the old newspaper and spread it thickly at the bottom of the box. Then I put three black boots together with two other Burmese lands, covered with several layers of old newspapers, but I was afraid it would hinder their breathing. Then hang an old wet towel in the box to keep it moist (it usually dries in a day or two, so I wet it once a day or two). At first, I didn't dare to let them hibernate for too long, so after they hibernate for a week, I took them out in batches and took a warm bath, so that they could excrete waste (it might rot in the body if not discharged) and replenish water. I found that they were still very energetic in the bath, so I planned to let them continue to hibernate. Later, I gave them a bath every 15 days. I don't know if this will disturb their hibernation, but I'm really worried about their lack of water, so I soaked them. In this way, three black boots spent the winter. I put them back on the balcony when the weather got warmer. In the first week, maybe they haven't recovered from hibernation and haven't eaten. However, a week later, the original eating method was restored, and the growth line was quickly exploded. Some turtle friends say that black boots can hibernate, while others say that black boots can't hibernate. Personally, the main reason lies in the place where the breeder lives and the length of hibernation. As I said before, I live in the south, and it won't be too cold in winter and the time will not be too long. If black boots hibernate, there should be no problem. In the north, it's different. Winter is very cold and the time is longer. So if black boots hibernate, they may not be able to sleep. But I wonder if there will be a big difference in indoor temperature between north and south. As far as the winter from the end of 2007 to the beginning of 2008 is concerned, the temperature in our house (indoors) is 10- 15 degrees Celsius, and three black boots hibernate at this temperature. Turtle friends in the north don't know whether to turn on the heating indoors. I haven't been to the north, so I don't know. However, I think if the black boot turtle is healthy at the same temperature, it should be able to hibernate indoors in the north, but it may take longer in winter in the north than in the south, so I dare not assert that it will hibernate.
