No, they don't hibernate but they do slow down dramatically in areas which cool down in the winter such as San Diego. You don't see them for days sometimes. You can call this an aestivation which is what most turtles/tortoises actually do. I'll be willing to bet I'd have no trouble finding a reference that leopards do this in the wild also.

: The Petsmart lady had a leopard tortoise she hibernated every winter? That in itself is a very scary statment to hear, especially since leopard tortoises don't hibernate and shouldn't ever be hibernated...they are a sub-tropical NON-HIBERNATING species. To force a non-hibernating species into *hibernation* can be harmful or fatal. Maybe you can clue your Petsmart lady in...and please check back with us for all your questions....
