Possible.....Definitely

The one subspecies of Box Turtle that will produce viable eggs without hibernation/ brumation is the Florida Box Turtle, T.carolina bauri. It's native low temperatures in South Florida reflect those of Hawaii; and they reproduce just fine.
These boxies don't have a cooling period like the other subspecies; temps in the 60's would be cool for them.

Also there are individuals in Hawaii that have Florida Box Turtles and they are reproducing just fine. Low temperatures that would be fine for Easterns and Three Toed would kill Florida Boxies.

Regards,
Ric
