Habitat varies a little because in total, there are approximately 14 subspieces of box turtles...These are the most common:Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina)Gulf Coast Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina major)Three-toed Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina triunguis),Florida Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina bauri)Ornate Box Turtle (Terrapene ornata ornata)Desert Box Turtle (Terrapene ornate luteola)And these two in MexicoCoahuilan Box Turtle (Terrapene coahuila) ---->Spotted Box Turtle (Terrapene nelsoni)The most common of these is the Eastern Box turtle which requires a high humid environment - in hot and dry weather they dig in and put their head in the ground or stay under heavy foliage where humidity is higher at ground surface. Contrary to some popular opinion they do not do well in arid or hot environments but prefer moderate temps and lots of shade and hiding places..some of the other species can tolerate drier environments.
