Someone mentioned... Who hibernates for convenience... I do. It's not really for convenience but out of necessity.
Those tortoises I keep outdoors I do not have room for them indoors... yet.
So... I cool them down to about 40 or 50 degrees F and place them in dark rooms for the winter months.
The species... I've said this before... wait for it... wait for it...
Aldabras, Redfoots, Leopards and Sulcatas.
I don't recommend or suggest that anyone try this at home.
The point... the animals adapt. They are reptiles totally dependent on temperature.
