Answer 1

They need about 2 cups according to your turtles size!!it needs to be past his shell a bit so he floats!if he ain't floating fill it up a little bit more they also need a bit of land but not to much they always need some water

It depends. If it's an an aquatic turtle then yes, it needs to be able to swim in and go under water with some surface above water. Tortoises and land turtles need enough water for them to soak in, but not enough to drown in.

it can but it is mostly a land turtle or tortoise.> Yo im sorry but your turtle does need enough water to cover his entire body but i agree he is a land turtle so he needs a lot of land

no they are known as a tortoise (in other words he stays out of water or no) but they might like to go near it some times for a drink

Answer 5

Yes! Box turtles need water, although they can go for many days without drinking in the wild.

Box turtles do not live in water but on land. They are the only true land turtle, but that doesn't mean that they don't enjoy a quick dip in some shallow water.
