Thank you guys four your expert advice! She ate a good handful of spring mix today and seems bright and active as usual. The humidity in her enclosure is around 45%. I've had a humid hide box for her for a while, but she rarely goes inside it, so I'll try to do some furniture rearranging and...

@Laura: Alrighty, will do! I'll get the spring mix today. Daily soaks are no problem, and I'll take care to handle her only when its necessary. I'm guessing I may do it more often than I should simply because my box turts are never bothered by it. @Tortie: Well, giving her romaine was sort of...

Adorable photo! It's always funny when one can capture a shot with their tort's mouth wide open mid-chomp. :P

Hello! A quick introduction, my name is Kim, I'm 25 years old and a grad student. Me and my family care for many box turts, and my most precious sulcata, Sky. So I understand its generally normal that a sully may excrete some of that white stuff with their urine. Sky's just a baby, and I've...

Not at all, people just grab their turt/tort and bring it right over to race for free.

So for the first time, me and my family went to Tortugas (in Las Cruces, NM) to participate in their annual turtle race. Pretty fun! :P Huuuge Sulcata. I finally got to see how large these guys can get. This one's a male and is 17 years old. Hitchin' a ride! He was much happier...

Are they calcium stains? That thought barely occurred to me now, haha..

Hello! I posted on this forum a year or two ago, but have otherwise been a lurker, enjoying photos and learning all I can learn about turts/torts. I've taken care of box turtles for some time, but now I'm the proud owner of a baby sulcata named Sky. She's about 2-3 months old now...

I'm located in El Paso, Texas. It gets pretty hot and dry around here, but we're finally starting to see some rain after 5 months. Hm, good question! Haha, well, hopefully anything to do with entomology, I really like working with insects and I don't mind the laboratory environment or being...

Hello everyone! I've been lurking around the forums for the past few days, but just got around to introductions now. I'm 22, an Ag. Biology student in college, and I am an insect and turtle/tortoise enthusiast. My folks and I have about 10 or so turts, all of them acquired from different...
