box turtles

[gecko geek]

my question is,
Could i keep an three toed box turtle in an outside and for how much of the year here in SW mo? i see them all the time in the summer so im guessing they have to do somthing for the winter months.

thanks in advanced,

You can keep them outside ALL of the year, i know someone who does this. Or you can bring them in. If youre going to bring it in for the winter months id do it in early to mid fall time, i dont know much about the climate of your state though.
