From an article on the World Chelonian Trust website:

"The weight and fat reserves of this species would seem to indicate that it hibernates in cool weather or aestivates in very hot dry times. At the present time there is not enough information readily available to determine which it does or if it does both. The author would not recommend attempting to hibernate this species at the present time."
