I was just wondering if anyone knew of any good sites and or breeders to get Box Turtles. Thanks for any info.

I just noticed this swollen lump on Huey's head, is this an abscess?

This Chelsea I adopted her yesterday from her long time owners, they were seeking someone that could care for her properly, they were aware they dropped the ball. Anyways, I don't have any Boxies nor am I familiar with them, but her nails seem really long and her shell is a bit beat up and...

I ran across an ad for a Boxie. She would be indoors until the weather permits her to start living outback. I'm currently talking with the owners and scheduling time to drive up and pick her up.

I'm looking to rescue some Box Turtles when they come out of hibernation but I'm trying to understand all the laws and restrictions. I know there are a few Texas folks on here, so I was wondering if anyone knows the current laws.

Well Petco had another sale, 1 dollar a gallon so we couldn't resist. We got a 55 Gallon, no lid or lighting. I will make a lid and use our 30 gallon fluorescent and basking light. I've been looking at the DIY 3d backgrounds and they got me thinking how perfect they would be for turtles...

I bought a couple Leo's from Rick Green via Kingsnake. He was very helpful and provided lots of info, the shipping was on time and he worked with my schedule, the Torts arrived packed well with heat and went straight to eating.

I just re-did these two terrariums and thought I'd post a couple pics. This is Peanut's newly decorated home, the grass weeds are from the yard, I replace them as they get eaten or squashed. This is Scarlet and Candace. Scarlet was a spur of the moment Black Friday thing, I...

Yesterday I was reading a post about bugs in an inside enclosure and I made a comment about frogs or toads eating the bugs. But I began to think what about outdoor enclosures, we have Toads and frogs everywhere since we have a small koi pond, they breed like crazy. Now it's nothing like...

Well my daughter had some B-Day money to spend so she decided on a water turtle. My wife had an empty 29 gallon (I think that's the size) that was a crabitat before we moved them. She was gonna do fish but couldn't make up her mind, so she offered it as a new home for the little turtle. So...

Let me start by saying this is not about Coil or compact bulbs, I use 18" tubes. I have Peanut (2-3 Month old Sulcata) in a 40 gallon aquarium with an Infrared light for 24 hour heat, it has a dimmer. I also have an 18" Fluorescent tube fixture from a 10 gallon setup. I switched to a...

I just received 2 Hermann Tortoises from Bill Curtis. They are both very healthy and happy, Bill answered all my questions and was very helpful. Most importantly the wife is very happy with her 2 new babies, she was a bit jealous of me and Peanut. He packed them very well and insulated...

Alright I have been reading and reading and reading. But now I'd like to get straight advice to make sure little Peanut is being well taken care of. Peanut seems to be doing fine, she has peed on us twice and poo'd yesterday and urates in her soaking the day before. But being my first...
