So my eastern box turtle has come out of hibernation. Today it is 74 degrees and at night 54 degrees. It will be like this for the weekend, but monday the high will be 57 degrees and 38 at night. Do i have to bring my turtle in?

Personally I wouldn't worry, I only bring mine back in if it's going to get below freezing and that is only because they can't dig down deep in the soil outside, because my pens have wood bottoms.
lows of 38 or anything above 32 for that matter and mine stay outside, but thats just how I look at it, 38 at night they will just burrow into the substrate and reamin inactive untill it warms up.

If the temp goes that low for only a few hours the turtle will be fine if it has dirt and mulch to dig under. But if it's going to be an extended freeze or cold temps, you may want to bring it indoors again, especially if it will be WET cold.
