Answer 1

Your box turtle smells bad? Did he walk in something, like poo perhaps, and you didn't wash him off? Without actually seeing him it's hard to say what it could be. Skin and/or mouth infections, shell rot, and any number of other ailments could cause bad odor. Box turtles don't have strong odors unless something is wrong. Reptiles don't always show signs of lethargy until their ailments are life threatening, so activity isn't always an absolute sign of good health. I'd suggest seeing a reptile vet immediately.
Best of luck,

Need more info. What is his setup like? Check out this link to see if everything is being done for him....they need heat basking lamps, UVB lighting, a large variety in their diet, a pool for soaking, etc.
