Do I still Try?

My box turtles are indoors. Your enclosure size is slightly small. For one box turtle 9 to 12 square feet is best. IMO, 8 x 4 is not needed. Though with a wild turtle I'd go as big as you can manage. High humidity, temps from low 70s to about 90 under basking area. Diet of 50% protein and 50% veggies_greens/fruit. Do not leave superworms loose in enclosure! You can with nightcrawlers though. Turtle looks female to me. Flat/concave is not always reliable. Position of vent opening is most reliable method.

My Boxie is 6 in Long. She laid four eggs so I know she's a girl

Total size tells nothing about gender, but laying eggs does...lol.

Please don't let her roam the kitchen. She's running around because she's stressed.

With the exception of the water bowl, I think your enclosure looks good. Love the sphagnum and I'm sure she does too! Plant saucers about 12 inch diameter make great water pans.

Box turtles do not hiss. The sound you hear is the air being expelled when she pulls in her shell.
