Yes! If you google Malayan Box Turtle you will find some helpful sites on caring for them. People don't realize they are supposed to be in aquatic environments, so they are often mistakenly kept in dry habitats. Mine was living in woodchips when we got him and completely miserable!
When we got ours, he was living in woodchips and would just bury himself in them all day. His claws where completely overgrown and two had broken off. I identified him by looking in a turtle book and made the switch. He's doing awesome now.
ok i NEED help i just got a turtle from a friend and ineed to know if the turtle has the right setup can u look at my video and see:::::::::}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
For anyone who wants to email a nasty, name-calling note about how Box Turtles don't swim, check your facts first. A little research goes a long way. American box turtles regularly submerge themselves to soak in water, and Asian box turtles are highly aquatic and SWIM. Thanks.
