Questions for Spotted Turtle breeders

This year, I will be attempting to breed this species for the first time. There seems to be a fair amount of variation in how people keep and breed this species, so I'm looking for input from some of the Spotted turtle veterans here.
- Do you hibernate or otherwise cycle your turtles? At what sort of temperatures, i.e. water, basking, nighttime, etc?
- Do you keep the male with the females year round, or do you separate them?
- How do you have your enclosures set up?

Thanks to anybody who can offer guidance. I haven't found much online, and what I have found seems to vary widely.
