Personally, I do think hatchlings and young torts are at more risk of dehydrating and poor shell growth, if they are overwintered, simply because they are spending more months basking and potentially dehydrating, where as in the wild they would have some time off from basking and growing so less chance of dehydrating. That's just me pondering.
