yes, they are. although I would not recommend turtles as a good kid pet anyway. if you are going to give your child a turtle, mud turtles are a good beginner turtle. as are box turtles. I have three turtles, a mud turtle, a box turtle, and a spotted turtle, and I am 13. Although it is also a question of how responsible you or your child is.
the box turtle prefers land while the painted turtle LOVES water. i have a painted turtle and he barely ever goes on to the land.

There are only two species of box turtle in the continental US, the Eastern and the Western Box turtle. They are predominantly terrestrial turtles, although many of them enjoy soaking in a shallow pond or stream, and many can swim. Box turtles are adaptable to many habitats, but are found most often in wooded areas with brushy ground cover. They require some moist ground where they can forage for earthworms, grubs and snails. Most box turtles, but not all, hibernate in the winter.

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.:-)
