When can i bring them out

[bmt123]

At what temperature can I bring out my box turtle

I start bringing mine out in the spring. I really dont know an exact temp tho.
I would say 70's. Its winter here now so I have to wait. Where are you from?

When I had box turtles I left them outside all year long and let them hibernate. Mine would come out around February or March. Do you let them hibernate or are they inside and not hibernating. It depends alot on what part of the world you are in

I am in nc and i didnt hibernate due to medical problems.

NC is native boxie habitat so in theory if you provided appropriate habitat they could stay out year round

Here in OreGUN febuary is still COOOOOOOOLLLLLLDDDDDD

Here in Ohio it is too! I miss last winter.

Mine usually start coming out toward the end of March, beginning of April.

I was going to hibernate but my Sherly has an abcess (spelling)

I've never kept any inside, only if one was sick or underweight, but it's a BIG worry leaving them outside. It's such a relief when I start seeing them.

I can imagine the stress involved in brumation.
