Box Turtle Care Sheet | Tortoise Forum

Box Turtles are used to having large areas to walk around in, so a nice sized container for an adult is necessary, a hatchling can have something smaller, and the enclosure upgrades with their growth. Enclosures need to be deep enough that the boxy has soil to dig around and hide in, and they cannot escape. boxies need both a dry side and wet side.
