box turtles stay small, but seem to like a lot of room for there size. Personally i would go as big as you can possibly go, i use to keep my 2 in a 10x5 foot enclosure, but even then they would claw at the sides indoors, i then moved them outdoors to a 20x20 where they were much happier. Not sure if its the indoors or what but seems like you can never go big enough with boxies.
