Yes. They really like the sunlight, so its not a bad idea to take a turtle outside for a bit. The temperature in a Box turtle's cage needs to be between 75 and 85 degrees. They also need a source of light for at least 14 hours during the day, and you can turn it off for the night.

∙ 12y agoPet Turtles don't need light "all the time", but it is wise to give them roughly 12 hours of time to bask under the UVA and UVB bulbs each and every day.

How do you hibernate the red neck slider you currently have him in your pond but need to bring him in for the winter?
First of all it's called Red-EARED slider. Secondly if you keep it home he shouldn't hibernate. Unless you really need it, then you have to keep the water always clean and provide the turtle with enough food. Red-Eared Slider should go into hibernation state when the temperature of air drops below 10 degrees. But still I advice you to keep him out of getting into hibernation.

What happens when animals wake up during hibernation?
Depends, if it is not warmed up but placed back into it's hole it will likely go back o sleep but if it is disturbed and moved about in warmth and not returned to below 50 degrees shortly it will become active although it may take a day or two. If kept in warmth with at least 12 hours of daylight it will become more active with time and totally leave the hibernating state within hours or days. Hibernation is important to hormone regulation and can affect breeding if it is not allowed to hibernate. The length of hibernation, however is not important, 4 - 6 weeks can suffice to help keep the turtle healthy and a turtle should never be allowed to hibernate unless it has a healthy weight and no ailments. Shortening of daylight hours in fall is what triggers the instinct to hibernate, the turtle stops eating and when temps decline they dig in.
