Hello!
My husband found this 3 toed box turtle trying to get out of our pool and after we released it twice it kept coming back roaming our yard. I have dogs that are let out supervised thankfully and I was able to save it the third time it came back. Well, here I am with the turtle and I don’t mind it at all. I made it a quick DIY habitat (total of 1 week today) until I understand the best habitat to build it in my yard. Here are some questions I have here:
1. How can I build these enclosures but make it safe for desert flat land where it can flood easily?
2. Are these enclosures I found only good for summer days?
3. What do I need to ensure it makes it through the spring and winter?
4. Do I need to keep this turtle inside? How long and how big does the enclosed indoors need to be?
5. Generally, anyone have a ball park on this turtles age? Do I need to get it a friend?
Any pics or suggestions would help!
Thanks!
