Painted Turtles do hibernate in the wild if the temperature is cold. They will burry themselves in the mud at the bottom of a pond, lake, or river for a long time. In captivity, they shouldn't hibernate if they are kept indoors because their body senses that it is still warm and it is not the time to hibernate.
