    The elusive mccordi…..

    4 1/2 yr old female. They are INSANELY active at dawn and dusk. Like a cat on catnip filled with steroids. But In between? You will not find them.

    Platysternon head shots

    A 6 yr old female. Believe it or not, she’s actually pretty tame. From the moment they hatch the protective head covering begins to form. The older they get the more pronounced the covering becomes.

    Cuora trifasciata - why so yellow?

    These guys are a blast! All Cuora are, actually, but these guys have tons of personality. Especially the females. They're more aquatic than many other members of the genus, but not as much as aurocapitata.

    Yes ma'am, up until mid-March. I cool them down from then up until the end of May. That is the timeline that has worked for me up here in N Ohio with the other Cuora species that I keep.

    Mccord’s Box Turtles

    The 2019's have been growing along nicely. They were introduced to pinkies last week and gobbled them up with vigor. They haven't shown any interest yet in fruit or veggies, but that will come in time as they age. They have been quite entertaining to work with thus far. Their personalities are...

    White layer on eyes

    I believe you may be confusing it with Cuora mouhitii (3 Keeled Box turtle / Jagged Shell turtle). This is 1,000% a Mauremys (Chinemys) reevesii.
