Hi everyone!
So my box turtle is about a year and a half old, when i picked her up the other day, I noticed her legs were considerably paler on the parts that she uses to wipe her face if she gets food in her face. It seems as though shes rubbed that part of her legs raw... any ideas on whats...
Hello! Ive heard great things about you and that youve raised your fair share of eastern box babies? I was wondering if you could perhaps help me with mine. I fear she may be sick :( I also am looking to update her enclosure and i was wondering if you could give me some tips to better her home...
Her skin even appears dry now! I have looked in stores nearest to me and it seems they dont have this vita sol. I would love to take her to a vet! However, all vets around me refuse to see any reptiles :l They only will see dogs, cats, and sometimes birds...
Things have gotten worse!! My boxie is now blowing tiny snot bubbles. Ive been providing more Vitamen A for her in the form of zuccini and cucumber. Could it be that i'm not providing proper heating??? I did not provide a heat bulb for her but her UVB bulb already seemed to make her basking spot...
Hi guys!!
So i've been looking at multiple variations of UVB lights on blogs and all that,and they are seem to be $50 0r more!!
Any recommendations for good bulbs thatll keep my turtle healthy but ones that are cheaper than $50?
An updated on my Boxie!
I fear someone was right and that she has a Vitamen A deficiency. I tried mixing Tuna and tiny shaved bits of carrot together but she wouldn't even touch it, this makes the second day she hasn't eaten and that worries me!! Should i be extremely worried? From what i see...
Ooooh okay!! I had no clue about those things!!!! I just figured she was fine with her little dish shes less than half its size! But yeah! Ill look for a terra cotta!
Thanks so much!! I didnt know :(
Okay!! Im looking to update her enclosure, could someone or you make a list of what i would need? I know about the common stuff like UVB Lights, (Which i have!) But i didnt know she would need extra heat! Please and thank you :)

The thing is i only have one box turtle, and I'm afraid she wont be able to consume all the meal worms i purchase and they ll all just turn into beetles.
