I'm with Tom... species and age are a good thing to know :)

When I feed my EBT I place the food dish near the tree in his pen (don't ask me what kind of tree it is I'm not my parents, all I know is it's not harmful to him at all) and I think that sometimes the squirrels come down and steal his meal if I don't place him in front of his dish. So I'm...

Absolutely adorable :) congratulations! The first picture is fantastic, I love your camera :)

Well, okay. Maybe I should've worded the title better. Shelly has been eating all of his life--I hope, but for the first time since we found him in 2000, I've watched him eat. This all started Sunday afternoon. I fed the turtle right after raking the obnoxious leaves out of the pen (not my...

Oh my gosh, s/he is so adorable :)

I'm most likely getting another turtle on January 26th, at the Portland Metro Reptile Expo, where I got my last turtle, Ginny. Yeah, no further details there. Anyway, I'm considering getting a boy, seeing as both of my girls have died less than a year after I got them (my Ornate, Bella...

This is a definite debatable topic for me, seeing as both of my females have died, but my male has been with us for almost twelve years now. Females: Pros- Sweet Cons- All the females I've had have died! Males: Pros- The one I have has outlived both of the females combined Cons- He's cranky...

Happy New Year!

She's a TY ball animal thing. It's cool because when you roll her, she always lands on her feet. [hr] That's cool! How do you make them? I make fairy houses out of cardboard boxes and bottlecap necklaces :)

I'm a turtle dork, so I have like five turtles. I even named them, haha. Their names are Waverly, Shelly, Toph, Ginnabella and Phelps. I'm also adding pictures of my real turtles, Shelly, Ginny and Bella. This is my sweetie, Isabella Adriana, "Bella" for short. She was probably the sweetest...

Preferably an Ornate or Eastern. Has to be over four, gender doesn't really matter, I would sort of prefer a boy because (this will make me sound like a bad pet owner, but really, it wasn't my fault) my previous two female turtles have both passed. The first was because we hibernated her and it...

I want to thank you all for your help, but unfortunately we lost Ginny. She was doing fine until I left her with my dad for the weekend to visit my grandparents on the coast. I came back and went to see her and my dad said she stopped responding to touch Saturday. We left Friday and came back...

I was there, too! I think I saw that EBT... I was considering getting him, until it turned out to be a boy. Oh, that's so funny! I'll PM you the place we got her from.

My Eastern Box Turtle, Ginny, hasn't opened her eyes for several days now, and whenever I soak her, she makes no move to wipe off any pus that is on them. I have taken a small bit of paper towel soaked in warm water and wiped it on her eyes, seeing if that would help, but it didn't. In fact...

The vaseline won't hurt it? And the chemicals won't do anything? I am definitely worried she's going blind or something's going on with her eyes, though.
