No, reptile species do not hibernate, they brumate.
Reptiles brumate. They basically hibernate except for exceptionally warm days when they will come out to bask, feed, or drink.
they dont hibernate they brumate. In the wild they start brumating in October when the temperature reaches below 10 °C (50 °F) and they come back up in March. In captivity they cant brumate at room temperature.
Red-eared sliders enjoy large areas where they are free to swim. Red-eared sliders brumate over the winter at the bottom of ponds or shallow lakes. Also they need to have a place for basking and basking means where they can have the sun light hit them.
look up "brumate" on google, its close to hiberating but for lizards. They should also be eating, every few days
Are its sleeping patterns different? Does it randomly sleep throughout the day? If it is sleeping at unusual times, this can often mean brumation. Do you see it constantly wanting to burrow? If it keeps trying to burrow, then it might want to go into brumation.
reptiles are well known for not sleeping for long periods of time. but it comes to a time during the winter when the sun don't shine that turtles lizards and snakes do hibernate for few months.
Red tail boas don't hibernate or brumate like most lizards do. They do like to sleep, especially to help digest food faster. I would guess it's coming out to explore at night. Make sure you have an 84-87 degree temp and humidity between 60-80%.
Get a book from your local library on care of snapping turtles. Call your wild fish and game department in you state and see if your even supposed to be messing with them in the first place then you can figure out what to feed them. Not the best idea to get them used to you if they are from the wild because it takes away there natural instincts to forrage for themselves and what happens when you no longer can care for them do they starve now. Do the right thing and check it out .
Corn snakes do not hibernate; they are active throughout the year. In the wild, they may become less active during the winter months, but they do not undergo true hibernation. Corn snakes typically brumate, a period of inactivity where they may seek shelter in underground burrows to conserve energy.
Bearded Dragons are a DESERT species. In their natural habitat, most of the day s spent sheltering from the hot desert sun. Occasionally, they will bask in the heat of the sun to warm their bodies prior to hunting for insects (their primary food). Their main activity times are dusk and dawn, when the temperature is not too hot.
