I just adopted a captive-bred box turtle. His pervious owner (my cousin) is moving and can't take him. he was about to be released into the wild! I took him in and I love him to death already. I got a ton of books about box turtles and I know all about what he needs for his environment and to eat, but none of the books say anything about heat lamps. What kind should I get? I was at the pet store yesterday looking for something to buy for him, but I didn't know what to get. Can someone send me a link to exactly what I need?
Also, if there is anything about box turtles that you cannot learn from books, I'd like to know that too.
