Agreed. I am sure you personally have a much better idea of how to take care of the turtle so I will probably be asking a lot more questions. Thanks for helping keep the peace.

RE: "Freindly" box turtle I read a male will try and get out if a female is around. Like many other species the males only think about sex. Find a couple chicks he can make a herum out of because when they mate the male bites the female's legs and if he only has one female then he will be all...

my dog chewed the cord on my wife's hair dryer and a lamp of mine. I used an extension cord for a replacement on both of those. I am not listened in HVAC but I have done a lot of work in that line. Just make sure you match the + to the + and the - to the -. If you have a ground use that too. it...

I was concerned she was a released pet based on her behavior. I have no way of knowing. All I can do is give her a better life than a captivity raised turtle released to the wild.[hr] Stephanie that post was not directed at you. I think you are looking out for the good of the species. No harm...

for sure

I know we can't all get along all the time, but when it comes to the well being of an animal we can put our differences aside and all agree that the best care is the only option. Thanks for all the help. We are keeping her and in Mississippi there are no laws protecting them. I have a great...

I am glad you can mock my faith. I believe there are no accidents and everything happens for a reason. I actually live in Mississippi and our laws are a little different than Tennessee. The reason I asked the question was to help me identify the turtle and finding all the knowledge and...

I am about to plant some day lilys in there. I read she likes them.

I am going about 12 inches higher than the 6 already there, plus a hinged top with wire mesh. to keep her in and predators out.

it is a 3.5 x 7.5 bed about 7 or 8 inches deep with dirt. I have like 3 strawberry plants but was hoping for something with big shade plants. I have the top of a bird bath for a water hole (changed daily) and I am building a dog house type hut for a cave.

The house next door to me is a rental and the day or 2 after they started moving she showed up in my backyard against the fence of the rental house. They are long gone. However I see a lot of sliders crossing the street behind my house and most of them never make it. When I do see them I stop...

She acts like a released pet. She is coming to us and not even scared of my 4 and 6 year old. I am turning one of my veggie garden beds into a pen for her. We are in the Memphis TN area. I was wondering about a good shade plant for the habitat. It already has a few strawberries in it, but I...

I added her picture to my profile. It is grain though.

I am trying to do this from my cell, so I am sorry about the quality.

I found a box turtle in my backyard. I wondered if because she(small tail) had 3 toes on her back feet was in fact a 3 toed box turtle. It seems easy enough to identify, but are there other species that have 3 toes? Thanks
