I have 4 year-old 3T box turtles and am about to take ownership of an eastern that's the same age. My 3Ts spent their first winter indoors, but I'd like eventually for them to brumate outside like their mother does. I live in Central Texas, and the winters are mostly down to about 30° as the lows. However, we usually get one decent freeze per year (usually down to about 15° or so) for less than a week. How old do they need to be to be able to stand the cold?
