on level ground box turtles can walk at up to around one sixth of a mile per hour, which is about 14.5ft per min. but a Box turtle will rarely walk for long distances without stopping so its hard to measure how much they can actually travel in an hour. in the wild, a box turtle will spend most of its time sleeping or sunning. any other time would be spent foraging for food and wouldn't be likely to walk more then a hundred yards in a day (roughly 12ft per hour).

they can do short distance sprints of up to one quarter of a mile per hour, which is 22ft per min. but only only for a few feet.
