What-you-should-know-about-Eastern-Box-Turtles

Hey Ben! As long as the turtle is active and eating well I wouldn't worry about it. Box turtle digestive systems are very slow and they actually benefit from the help of round worms to move food through their digestive tract. It only becomes a problem when the turtle is in prolonged stress or...

RE: Beware of Heading Pads for Box Turtles It seems the last letter of the link (F) was left off. http://myfwc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1141/~/turtles---what-regulations-apply-to-turtles%3F My idea of protected is they are illegal to own or collect from the wild without a permit...

I didn't know Gulf Coast boxies were a protected species in Florida the law says differently in this link. http://myfwc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1141/~/turtles---what-regulations-apply-to-turtles%3F Halfway down the link it says: The following species have a possession limit of...

Awesome! BTW do you know why they dig several holes be fore laying the eggs?

I've had three for years that were given to me as rescues and they are the hardiest of all box turtles - never have they showed any signs of distress even though one has a fire damaged shell which has 50% bone showing. They live outside in a pen with wading pool, hibernate there and never stop...

Well, that is interesting - those are more convincing pictures.

This is the email of the guy who had posted the blue EBT I pictured there. Jonathan Benson <[email protected]> Let me know if you get anywhere with it - I'm still curious to know if it was really blue.

Your Blue EBT looks realistic with white blotches mixed in the color and the blue looks natural. In July of 2010 the turtle pictured below was offered for sale on Kingsnake for $500 I think - can't remember, could have been asking more. I felt these pictures were of a turtle that had been...

That's it now. My daughter found Bumblebee in our back yard and when I realized just how unique he is, I spent years and too much money trying to buy some high yellow females because I couldn't find the same pattern as Bumblebee but discovered that no one would part with a beautiful good breeder...

Yep - he's 5 3/4 inches and healthy as they come. After looking at thousands of ebt pics I still can't get over how near perfect his pattern is. Been searching for a female exactly like him for years but nada. This guy is a little bigger but out of the ordinary as well. Just wish he had more...

Wow Awesome collection - my Bumblebee would be a nice match for Goldie - could have perfect bulls eyes on every scute! He's from KY too!

You're welcome! I never met a turtle I didn't like!

Hey spread this around! Post this video on your FB pages or websites. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_935eZl84k Box turtles are emerging early because of this uncommonly mild winter, and we'd like to keep as many wild as possible, rather than having them picked up and turned into pets...

Here are some pics I'll bet you've never seen! http://tsadjatko.hubpages.com/hub/The-common-snapping-turtle-and-the-uncommon-snapping-turtle

Supremelysteves advice is great - just remember when a turtle embryo in an egg begins to develop it attaches to the top of the egg shell. If the turtle egg is turned, the embryo will most often die. Therefore, the tops of all turtle eggs should be marked with a felt tipped marker before they are...

I did not mean what you are looking for was in the link - I meant for you to contact them - they may have what you want and are the best at what they do. They may be able to find you a het albino snapper. You can contact them by email on their site. Good luck.
