Well I finally found a vet in my area that is known for his work with exotics and reptiles. In fact he used to work in the SI Zoo (part of his credentials, which I looked up) He seems to come highly recommended. I am going to call tomorrow and get a apt. She is my first box turtle in such a long time, and I have to do my best for her. I keep thinking...if only my yard and her pen were finished before this cold weather came, I could have put her out there and she just could have hibernated naturally. I took advise from someone here who has box turtles, and since she dug under in her virverium, he told me to put the whole virverium in the coolest part of the house and keep the humidity high. That is what I meant when I said that the gaze read "tropical" which is the highest level on there. The temp. reads between about 67-68. I have taken her out once every 7 or 8 days to soak. When I soaked her she used to wake up but never moved around much. Her eyes were clear...just this last time they were closed. Poor Nora.I am a nervous wreck! Can't wait to get to the vet. I will keep you all posted. Thanks for the help.
