Thank you for the information. You have changed my plans substantially. I was planning on building two enclosures, the other was going to be for Gulf Coast Box turtles (another favorite that I will work with again sometime in the future) but after reading your thoughts and the thoughts of some others I have decided that both will house groups of four woods each for the time being and I will wait until I can provide another enclosure to obtain the boxes. Also, I don't think I mentioned this before but the number of turtles I keep will depend on the sexes I end up with. I hope to have 2.4 out of the group of 8, and would keep 1.2 in each enclosure. But I doubt I will be that lucky and will be happy if I can get 2.2 out of these. Can you provide any insights into sexing smaller woods? I am seeing some behaviors out of two animals in particular that lead me to believe they are males. But the guy from whom I got these said in his experience accurate sexing is very difficult, sevral times he was fooled by animals he was "sure" were one sex or the other. Thanks again for taking the time to type all that out for my and others benefit.
