It's 3 ft by 3ft. I'm in Hawaii and it gets lots of sun throughout the day. I want to build him a bigger enclosure for sure. This was just done for a temporary home for him. My sons teacher gave him to us unexpectedly and prior to this he was in a huge plastic bin. He seems so much happier...

I did that today too! It was Spike's first day/night out in the outdoor enlosure. I came out to see how he'd done at about 4pm and I couldn't find him! It scared me because even though I have a screened top on his enclosure, and he screen was still intact I saw the uprooted cat grass and...

Do yours like to dig and just chill out in the hole they dug? He ripped up the cat grass and dug a hole and stayed there for a while.

He's been digging all over and even uprooted the cat grass! Is it normal for them to burry themselves and just chill out a lot?

I modified an existing raised garden bed by making the sides taller and making a screened top that is removable. It isn't perfect by any means but my 9 year old son and I put it together. Not bad for our first build project. He was super proud of his mama :) Spike seems to love it and crawled...

Thank you so much! I will try the diet out for him and pray he eats it!

Thank you, I haven't had much luck finding top soil or peat moss here. I will try a local garden shop tomorrow.

Here in Hawaii our Walmarts and pet stores don't carry night crawlers or any sort of live bait. I also haven't found any online suppliers that can ship worms here due to the restrictions. I could buy meal worms if they are ok? I have tried crickets, boiled chicken and dog food so far and he...

Thank you

I recently found out that my new Three Toed box turtle was an outside turtle that lived in a backyard with a pond. For the past two weeks he's been indoors and seemed unhappy, now I know why! I am almost done with his outdoor enclosure and had a few questions. When should I feed him to keep...

I only found the Eco earth so I will try that. I'm hoping to build it tomorrow then I will share a picture.

Would the Eco earth be ok?

If I put him outside, he won't need anything at night correct? Temps range between 66-75 at night here outside.

So now that I've found out he was previously an outside turtle, which plants should I put in his enclosure and what substrate?

Well as it turns out, this turtle came from a backyard that had a small pond and several Habba huts to hide in. No wonder this poor guy is so unhappy

Is the infrared temp gun one from lowes or Home Depot or does it have to be from a pet store?

Hello, thanks for your help! I have a zoo med 75w repti basking bulb with uva not uvb. I have a stick on thermometer but will look for the temp gun you suggested. What type of fake plants (or real) sphagnum moss is the dry stuff I can find in petco right? I live in Hawaii so resources are...

Thank you for your help! He has four toes on his back feet, is it still possible for him to be a three toed box turtle with four toes on his back feet? I am willing to move him outside of the enclosure I have already will work. It's an old raised garden bed. I can modify it a bit. I checked the...

Thank you so much! I will moisten his Eco earth like I do for my tiger salamander.

Hello, thanks for your reply! He has four toes on his back feet, is it possible for a three toed box turtle to have four on their back feet? I have a bit of a problem acquiring any sort of night crawlers or worms. (I also have a Tiger Salamander) Here on our island there isn't a store that sells...
