 90% of box turtles purchased by the general public die within the first 6 months to 2 years of captivity because they are not cared for properly. It is estimated that box turtles can live 50-100 years naturally. Purchasing an animal just to have it die because it is not set-up or fed correctly is a waste of your money, your time, and an animal's life. Box turtles require five things in order to fare well in captivity they are:
- Heating
- Room to Roam
- Full Spectrum Lighting
- High Humidity
- Proper Diet
