Box turtles are primarily terrestrial and are not adapted for prolonged periods underwater. While they can hold their breath and may swim short distances if necessary, they typically cannot survive submerged for long. Extended exposure to water can lead to drowning or other health issues, such as respiratory problems. It's best to keep box turtles in a dry environment with access to shallow water for hydration.
