This is my Box Turtle Tank.I Hatched them in my backyard about 2 years ago.The mom layed eggs in the yard and my dog kept trying to dig them up so i put them in a bucket and hatched them myself.

No there not, but I put that in my tank so they could soak and drink anytime they want instead of waiting on me there in a bigger tank now with the same concept but I put my own feeder fish in there they actually try to get them there eating them but I've never seen them.

DUDE! ur turtle is going to drwon look at it. BOX TURTLES ARE LAND TURTLES. That's probabaly how the other one died. Yeah they like to drink water but dint give them half a tank full.

Ya acctually if the turtles are that slow theres something wrong with them

Love the set up! This is exactly what I want to do! I am so confused about people saying Box Turtles don't need water. So, I think they do! I rescued a Red Eared Slider and this Box Turtle (Which they said was a Tortoise). They were in the worst condition, working with shell rot on the box turtle and just got a Spiny Soft Shell ( So Cute). What did you use to separate the two sides, so the water doesn't creep over to the terrarium side?

@DBDshow12 box turtles can still swim in fact if you put them in a pool of water they float. you can give them a lot of water to swim in they just have to have a way of getting back in land like a ramp. in the wild box turtles will swim once or twice a day to get moisture on their tough skin and also to get rid of parasites.

@moviephone314 the most successful way to tell is the bottom of the shell. if it is flat it is a female if it is concave meaning it curves in it is a male that is because the male mounts the female. and your turtle is a red-eared slider i used to have them they are very common. fully grown a male will be about 5 inches whereas a female will be about 6-7 inches

how did you make that tank
