Question :
I have Florida Box Turtles and a couple Easterns. They live outside here in South Florida.
Our temps in the few months we call winter vary from 60-75f during the day with most days full sunlight to as low as 32f at night ( occasionally). Some winters it never drops below 40f.
Is there anything I need to do or change during the cooler months for the Easterns? I assume the FBT's are fine, since they are native to this weather.
Will the FBT 's dig down and go into astivation these months?
Will the Easterns?
Not sure what to expect. This is my first winter in the South with box turtles.
Thanks to you experienced keepers.
