Lisa,
If you scroll down about a page on the forum, to August 24th, you'll see a post by buffysmom titled "what temp to bring them inside". Although she lives in Utah, you'll find some of the information on this thread useful. There are also several links that contain great info.
I lived in NJ for 21 years...smack in the middle between Philly and the shore. Your climate on a barrier island is going to be vastly different than most of the mainland. There are neotropical plants growing on Island Beach State Park, for instance. The good news is, box turtles occur in good numbers up to and into shoreline sand dunes in NJ. The flooding, however, makes outdoor hibernation a deal breaker. You may be able to construct something for the outdoors, though. Happy reading. Let us know what you decide.
