Female box turtles typically emerge from their burrows in the spring as temperatures warm and food becomes more abundant. This emergence usually occurs between March and May, depending on the local climate. They are often seen foraging for food, mating, or searching for suitable nesting sites during this time. After nesting, they may return to their burrows or continue foraging until the cooler months.
