Box Turtle and Tortoise Discussion :: New baby BOXIE!

A general forum for those with an interest in land-based turtles.

These are all good sizes for an adult boxie. For a 2 inch hatchling...a 30 gal planted vivarium is fine. A hatchling stays buried 90 % of the time. A planted vivarium will hold the humidity in and some added leaf litter and soil will mimic the forest floor. Your 30 gal sounds good to me. Anything bigger and you won't be able to find him if he digs under. You can plan a bigger enclosure when he is older.
