i have raised asian box turtles outdoors in central alabama for 20 years and they have hibernated and reproduced successfully. i have recently thought about trying a pair of tortoises. a friend has suggested hermanns or greeks. has anyone had experience allowing tortoises to hibernate on their own in an large outdoor habitat in the SE? (climate zone 8)
any experiences or information would be greatly appreciated.
