Come with me to set up my box turtles’ outdoor habitat! 🐢 Things you will need: - A suitable climate - Location with both sun and shade - Walls that are high and deep, as box turtles are excellent climbers and diggers - A lip over the top, as well as wire mesh to keep the box turtles in and predators out - Peat moss and top soil at minimum four inches deep - Turtle-safe plants, a slate to feed on, multiple hides and water dishes - Native foods like earthworms and isopods - Solar powered securit

The turtle fence also acts as a bench! This is the second box turtle enclosure we’ve made this way! #nativehabitatproject #alabama #conservation #boxturtles #outdoorclassroom | Native Habitat Project
