How long do members let their Torts Hibernate for??

The animals set the time period. Seems like Russians sleep the longest. Here in Central Calif. the desert tortoises go into brumation around the end of October and start waking up around the end of March. I've heard rustling in the Russian's area, so I think some of them are waking up already. I've already seen several box turtles out sunning themselves. The went down sometime in November and are just now waking up.

my animals dont set their own time period, they're in a fridge.

I think on average, depending on species most people for 8-12 weeks in the fridge.

well im waking mine up tomorrow, i cant wait.

My tortoises sleep from March until last week of April. Basically 7 weeks. My turtles however, sleep from November until April.

mine have done 12 weeks.
