Housing a box turlte in a tank does not mean sure death, its just really not the best for them, Tanks dont have the room a box turtle needs. YOu can do it, but its not fair to the turtle. Just like you can keep a dog in a kenal for its life but it wount be happy, and its not enough room. Its better to have a 8x5 foot enclosure for a adult boxie, indoors or outdoors, if you can go bigger then you should. box turtles will never have enough room unless you have few achers. If i were you friend i would move the boxies in a table, or outdoors he would see a big change in attitude, health and personallity.
