Good question. Also what species are you looking into getting? One of the American or Asian species?

I hope it's not his 20 gallon.

Also remember that 99.9% of box turtles are wildcaught.

[NOTE: I could be wrong on that statistic. It may very well be 100%.]

Yeah it's true, almost all of the adults you see for sale are wild caught. But there are quite a few captive bred and hatched Terrapene carolina.

Nope. But Eastern Box Turtles usually lay their eggs under the cover of darkness so who knows where they are in my pen. I might have to put some fine, rabbit wire around the bottom of the pen so the little ones can't escape.
