Turtles that are purely aquatic do not go in to complete hibernation but go in to a semi hibernation state usually at the bottom of the pool where they may remain for long periods according to the external climate. Amphibious turtles leave the water and settle in the surrounding moist and grassy land often in burrows. Terrestrial turtles as well as aquatic ones if they are kept in well lit and heated pools or enclosures often do not hibernate but remain active feeding throughout the year. Turtles though unlike tortoises should not be allowed to hibernate in dry places as they need moisture without which they could die from dehydration. The most favored period of hibernation for turtles like tortoises is from October, when the start displaying visible signs of sluggishness and a marked decrease in appetite, to March when they come out of hibernation. Hibernation in turtles varies according to the species as well as the climate of the place from which they originate.

temperature is right or your tortoise may never wake

Usually during the winter, but due to human activity, many species have stopped hibernating, like the Leopard Tortoise who stays active all year round, except sleeps more during the fall and winter.

Snakes and other reptiles have dormancy dens where they feel safe enough to sleep. A snake can dig its own hole but often with take advantage of hollows, like cracked foundations, or piles of brush.
