Habitat: Mediterranean Tortoises, These Animals Live In Grassy Meadows And Scrubland Where They Come And Go From Their Burrows In Order To Maintain The Ideal Temperatures. They Do Hibernate Naturally, And Will Hibernate In Captivity If Proper Conditions Are Given. As Adults, They Can Safely Handle Body Temperatures As Low As 35 Degrees During Hibernation, And On Cold Spring, Summer Or Fall Months, They Will Retreat Underground To Maintain Some Warmth. Summer Highs Up To 110 Degrees Can Be Tolerated As Long As There Is A Cooler, Underground Retreat The Tortoise Can Get Into. In Hot Climates, They Will Spend Much Of The Summer Days In Burrows Or Simply Buried Under An Inch Or Two Of Earth. They Can Dig In And Bury Themselves In A Matter Of Minutes, And Will Often Do It Several Times A Day In Soft Sandy.
