Red-eared slider turtles can survive in a pond during winter in Pennsylvania, but there are important considerations. They hibernate in colder temperatures, but since your turtles have never been outdoors year-round, they might not be acclimated to the temperature fluctuations and potential hazards of the pond environment.

Additionally, providing a proper basking area and monitoring water quality is essential for their health.
