Hey guys! Penny hasn't been acting up but I just wanted you to see if there's anything wrong with her.

Me and my Florida Boxie Penny live in Florida. Penny lives, outside, but in a screened deck. I doubted the hurricane was dangerous and was overrated, but, just to be on the safe side, brought her in (her makeshift habitat is shown below). I live on a 40 acre horse ranch, along with my cousins...

From what I've read, I think Penny (Florida Box Turtle) is building a nest. She has been in this position the last few days. I moved the food bowl there too just in case. Is she building a nest? If she is, what do I do? Her habitat is outdoors but on my screened deck, safe from any predator.

Any ideas on how or where I can get a big enough pen for...

My female Florida Box Turtle, Penny, was a turtle we found on the street. I know I'm not supposed to, but I live on a 40-acre horse ranch and see tortoises a lot, so I figured I would let it free on my property. While coming home, however, we figured out that she was accustomed to human care and...
