Box Turtles - how many together? | Tortoise Forum

Keeping more than one tortoise can work just fine. The problem is keeping them in PAIRS. When there are just two of them, its a problem. This would also apply to box turtles. Groups of juveniles and babies are usually fine. As adults, you can keep groups in a large, well planted enclosure with one male and 3-4 females.

Care for baby box turtles has evolved over time - the current best practice is to keep them in warm very shallow water, about 1/4? deep. For a sick baby you should keep it about 80-85F day and night. Letting it drop to 70F at night is normally OK but may slow or prevent recovery from infections.

It sounds involved, but it's really easy - takes me about 15 minutes to feed all my box turtles (and other turtles) and keeps them healthy and happy. Hope that was helpful! Reactions: AWAaviatrix , oldocb , gabby.santana and 2 others

So, the Carolina box turtle (Terrapene carolina) contains several subspecies, and the ornate box turtle (Terrapene ornata) contains two subspecies, but the Carolina and ornate box turtles are in different species altogether. They coexist in parts of the Great Plains, but they do not really hybridize there.

You can add a 80w aquarium bulb to keep the hornwort growing. You can have a basking area that's made of a floating piece of cork bark wedged at an angle. The basking light can be a regular reptile basking bulb that emits UVA. UVB generally isn't as important to musk turtles as they are to basking turtles such as RES.

Turtles are allowed to swim in full water for 30 to 60 minutes per day. Partial water immersion. This can be used for turtles with fractures confined to the carapace where the water level is below the position of the fractures. Again turtles are allowed access to this water for 30 to 60 minutes per day. No water immersion.
