It does sound like a lot of light, but with the height and fake plants it's really not that well lit. When they were in the tub it was much brighter. Upon moving them the aquarium was darker and they didn't eat as well, so I added a bit more light. They are very active but mostly early in morning and in the evening. When spring comes they will be put outside, the only reason I kept them in last summer was because the 100F+ heat worried me a bit.
The aquarium is covered around the sides. I know very well that if a turtle sees open space the turtle wants to go there and will exhaust itself trying. As for researched, I've lurked around the various kingsnake forums for years and learned a lot on box turtle care from here
