really nice specimen. Have fun with him.

oh, meant to say we came across her laying her eggs later.

neat, she is beautiful. We live on 17 acres fields and woods and my husband came across a pair of boxies breeding. We have come across adults and one to two year olds on the farm but this is the first time he/we came across a breeding pair. It is so late in the season we think these eggs will...

glad she is ok. Mistakes happen and we learn from them.

I fed mine lots of worms and snails. The Bronx Zoo is very successful at breeding them.

beautiful turtles.

Congratulations! I have had them and they are wonderful

I meant to add that that is like everyone else has said, a Three toed

Box turtles are native to Texas and Oklahoma, I have been to both places and found them. Found a bunch of three toads on a ranch in Oklahoma, a few in Northeastern Texas(not three toads)

You can sell turtles over 4" in NC. Nothing under. Place ads to find a new home for this tortoise. I am in Greensboro NC so I know about the 4" law. Good for you to come on this forum and ask,

so sorry about your loss. Something similar happened to me when I was young and had some Box turtles outside under a tree. The shade moved and they got over heated. It is hard, but like said, you have learned a valuable lesson and can go on from here.
