Yes, painted turtles are cold-blooded, meaning their body temperature is regulated by the environment. They rely on external heat sources, such as the sun, to warm themselves and become more active. When temperatures drop, their metabolism slows down, and they may become less active or even enter a state of brumation during colder months.
