    Brumation and Hybrids

    I have a baby CB hybrid box turtle, and since it has Florida Eastern, 3 toed and ornate genes, I was wondering if it may have an inability to brumate, I'm thinking because of the Florida location . I live in South Carolina and winter's here are colder then Florida but milder then up north.?????
