How big do Box turtles get in Kansas?
The only box turtles indigenous to Kansas are the Ornate box turtle and the Three toed box turtle. They both grow to an adult shell length of 6 inches. The biggest box turtles are Gulf Coast box turtles (not in Kansas) and they can grow to 8 inches or more in length. To answer your question, the state they are in has no affect on how big they grow so if you put a gulf coast box turtle in Kansas it can still grow to 8 inches or more.:-)
Can ornate box turtles swim?
I believe the turtle floats-being guided by his legs...however he may dive and remain stationary on the bottom of the water he is in for a proscribed amount of time Sure they can swim but nowhere near as good as an aquatic turtle so they avoid fast moving bodies of water and usually will not venture in deeper than the height of their shell - they seem to know they can be swept away. Often when they are sick they will seek water to soak in and often will die soaking in the water.
