: <<Russians are very temperature tolerant, meaning they can handle cool and even cold weather. I think that's what people mean when they talk about keeping russians outside- they allow their russians to over-winter or hibernate outside.>> : Hi, : They can survive being in colder weather, however like all tortoises they must have warm weather to heat their little bodies up to be active. : Those that overwinter them outdoors live in warm areas. The tortoise will not be active in cold winter areas, it will not overwinter, it will hibernate. : Just to clarify - low temperatures are needed to hibernate all tortoises safely, not just Russians. : However, they probably do come from some colder winter areas that other species, so they probably do encounter some colder hibernating temperatures.
