Hello from chicago!!

[Buddytheboxie]

Hello everyone! my name is mariah and i recently adopted a 3 toed box turtle.
He is a 22 year old male named Buddy!
I already started asking questions and have been reading everything and realized that I rescued him from some really bad conditions and i am learning to improve his enviourment. I still have a lot of work to do in terms of setting up his home and getting him to eat anything other than lettuce and superworms haha!
I will happily take any advice and answer any questions!!!
Again i am not perfect but i am trying!
(I attached a picture of my new son as he scopes out the bucket of superworms i am about to feed him)

I actually got it from PetSmart! It's 21$ but it's so worth it.
