| Lighting: |
Wood Turtles will require approximately 12 hours
per day of full-spectrum UVB light. It does not
necessarily have to be exactly 12 hours but you
should keep the time consistent so they get used
to it as a routine. |

|
| Physical Design: |
Wood Turtles are semi-aquatic so they should be
placed in a habitat that has some water and some
dry land. |
| |
|
| Size: |
Adult Wood Turtles should be housed outdoors
and in these cases space should not be an issue.
If they are housed indoors they will need plenty
of room to move because part of the enclosure
will be taken up by water.
Ensure that while the turtle is young that the
water is not too deep for them. |

|
| Temperature: |
Anywhere between 75 degrees F to 85 degrees F
would be acceptable for your Wood Turtle. Providing
them with a slight temperature gradient will allow
them to move to an area that they feel comfortable
in. |
