Freshwater turtles can last months in anoxic conditions. h/t hbdchick
As I've considered lunar colonies, they'll start as temporary camps. The visitors stay for a week or two, in daylight. Then they rocket back up to some orbit - probably back home for the high-grav.
Longer than a week we have to start with dust. Then there's the low-gravity issue. Only after studying these, and their mitigation, should we bother with keeping the lights and life-support over the fort-night.
But since these turtles can handle the stale air in the dark - why not? Just don't let the air leak out.
