Posted by: bloomindaedalus at Sun Jul 6 17:04:37 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by bloomindaedalus ] I kept florida box turtle juveniles in a large kiddie pool for about half a year a long time ago. The only problem i found was that the pool wasn't deep enough to provide space for a thick, deep substrate that boxies like to burrow into. There were no other serious problems. But then, i lived in Florida at the time so temperature wasn't an issue. The pool was on a screened porch but faced an open area so one side was sunned and one side shaded. Depending upon where you live and how you position the pool it may be difficult to keep the temperatures right. But a brooder lamp with a stand or a light hanging from a chain might help. Also, though, boxies DO like to roam so only the biggest size pool and the smallest turtle would probaly be something i'd put togther now. | ||
