...me. Next time. Just dodge the need to spend $95 next time by giving the turtle choices.



By making your turtle live in a pneumonia-maker and not giving it any choice other than that, you'll have to be prepped for a long life of vet visits, or a short life, depending on the vet's and the turtle's luck.



65 degrees and high humidity are the bane of any turtle from dry country. Any of them can take it for some time. They scrape through it, that's living. But, they don't take it at length.



65 degrees doesn't slow the metabolism to hibernation. Many box turtles will be active on days of that ambient temperature, so it must not disable them. But, they can find and choose spots warmer than that, unless they're in a dark, humid box.



Always give a gradient, from below the useable to above the useable. The turtle will make the decisions. All you have to do is provide for the needed choices.
