I'd like to keep my eastern box turtle outside 24/7 this summer. I live in Massachusetts so it's perfect weather for her. I have an escape proof enclosure but I'd like to make a wooden den box that i can bury and fill with leaf litter for her to hide and sleep in. I believe some people use this method for burmating them? Is this a good idea? Or should i just build an above ground one?
Also, if i were to do this, how could i make sure it didn't flood?
