Yes, depending on the species and regional variation. Common Snapping Turtles in New York and Canada hibernate through freezing temperatures every winter, and have even been seen swimming in ponds under the ice.
In the wild, turtles bury themselves deep in the mud of their favorite pond, and hibernate all winter. Obviously, this isn't possible for a turtle who lives in a tank. It is dangerous and unhealthy to let a captive turtle try to hibernate.
What you need to do is buy a UV heat lamp to put/hang over the tank. The heat lamp will simulate the summer sun, and the turtle will go through the winter without hibernating.
You can buy heat lamps and bulbs at most pet stores, including Petco. You can even buy a timer for the heat lamp, so you don't have to be home to turn it on every morning, and off every night.
I have included two links: one to the Petco webpage where you can buy Zoo Med Reptile Basking Spot Lamp Bulbs, and a lamp to put those bulbs in. The other link is to a website called X10.com, where you can buy a timer for the lamp.
No, they can't survive freezing temperatures, because they're reptiles and reptiles are cold blooded. Any cold-blooded organism cannot generate heat, in fact they need it.
Turtles can survive it because they walk as far north as they can and they go in there shell
In the wintertime, turtles bury themselves deep in the mud and hibernate until springtime.
Well, snails hibernate during winter, so most cannot.
Yes, turtles will die if frozen. However most species of tortoise will survive.
Yes, snails can survive cold temperatures. The snails will stay out until the temperature turns to freezing then they will seek shelter.
The American alligator is able to survive in water temperatures approaching freezing during winter. Most crocodiles are tropical and would not survive long in freezing temperatures.
Certain frogs can survive in freezing temperatures. The Grey tree frog's heart stops, but it can still survive, it makes an antifreeze, that helps prevent its body from freezing completely.
There is not a set list of temperatures in which cats can not survive. It is best to either bring them in or give them a warm place to sleep when it is cold and plenty of cool water when it is hot.
A North American bear can survive below freezing temperatures while in their dormant period. EDIT : I'm not sure if all bears could survive below freezing. North American bears can, but for example, a Panda bear I'm not sure if it could.
Scorpions are known to hibernate during winter months. They can only survive in temperatures ranging from 68 to 99 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yes, bacteria can survive freezing temperatures. Freezing isn't a sure-fire way to kill the bacterial population in the food. The only thing freezing will do is halt the multiplication of bacteria however thawing will resume the process.
Too much water or temperatures below freezing can damage or kill a saguaro cactus.
Chlamydia trachomatis will not survive freezing.
no,a cactus can't survive in northpole because it will become frozen and it would die. Cactus can almostly survive in any climate. In northpole it is very cold and the cactus is not adapted to low temperatures. Cactus need warmth and in northpole there is freezing weather and freezing water, cactus can't survive in northpole.
On April 16, 2009 in Pickering, Ontario, at 7:30 a.m. EST, the temperature was about 35 degrees Fahrenheit (just above freezing). A caterpiller was observed moving across patio stone. So, yes, they appear to live through low temperatures. However, they would not likely survive in below-freezing conditions.
I do not believe there is any animal that can survive when their body temp is below freezing. There are quite a few that can handle below freezing temps but their body temperature will always be much warmer than the air or water. Polar bears, seals, whales, arctic foxes etc
