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.
