I have much experience with box turtles (easterns, three toeds, ornates, and guflies) but I am new to Floridas. I've been trying to read specifics about them, but there isn't a whole lot out there on this subspecies. Here are my questions:
1) I have read that it is illegal to keep more than two in captivity? Is this true, and if it is, is it true in all states?
2) Do they hibernate? I was under the impression that they do - but a shorter period like the gulfies - but now I'm reading that they don't.
Anyone who keeps these lovely turtles - will you please help me!
