So, if I'm potentially keeping 4 boxie babies separate, and outdoors, any good ideas on lil water dishes?

Here's to another year! Glad to see your fellas are out and about. Don't hold back with the pics!

Here's my big bold beauty Juanita. 22nd spring together. Eagerly awaiting Sophia and Salvador and the 4 babies. We shall see...

What are "her" dimensions? What kind of boxie do you think she is?

Looks like maybe they just dried up and were never viable. However, if they were laid Aug 10th, and they were viable, they wouldn't be due to hatch until right about now. Eggs often hatch late into fall and the hatchlings just stay in the nest and "hibernate " We've had a very warm & dry fall...

I love the South Eastern side! Brrr in winter though eh? If they aren't saltwater snails :p I would imagine they"re ok? Your turtle is so lucky to have you. Also, there are small indoor worm bins available that seemed pretty easy to replicate at the time I was looking into that. They weren't...

One fabulous and amazing facet of box-turtle biology is that they are virtually immune to naturally occurring toxins. They can and will eat most fungus, poisonous caterpillars and are frequently found dwelling amidst poison ivy (at least here in the south-east U.S.). However, that being said...

well... 7 died today. last two days, and really from the get go he wasn't quite right. slower. blinkier. Then Lethargic, and now gone. trying to remain rational but its not easy.

My only concern in keeping them together is about them biting eachother... They're so darn little though, whadda y'all think?

So here's elegant Eight posing in a fancy saucer atop some lovely little marbles. Please note: this is absolutely not where I'm keeping Eight. Just a pix. The five little baby enclosures get built this weekend. I have a veritable pentagon of rubbermaid containers set up for now. Everybody's...

Thanks Y'all! Love that story Moozillion, so glad to hear about kids learning about nature and nurture. I learned about those things way back when with my dear old Sophie mama turtle when I was 7. She's such a trooper.

Thank you thank you! Temporary indoor nursuries are all set up, not entirely sure how to handle this herd of turtles tonight, but safe and secure and separate and temporarily indoors. Please any and all advice welcome.

Sophia, Juanita & Salvador made FIVE baby three toed boxies. I am shocked and overwhelmed Turtle nxt to quarter found 9/18. Turtles with nickel found this afternoon! Holy guacamole am I astounded

Cat's outta the bag, so to speak: the secret of my adorable baby is all DiamondBP. Thank you again for swappin' turtles with me and givin' my old ladies such a lovely gentleman companion as Salvador! He is quite popular, except they boss him at the food plate. I feed him separately now so all...

So happy for you and Maxine! What a lovely name for a lovely lady. Her shell is so beautifully worn smooth.

This lil wiggler is so har to photograph! So far she's eaten 6 small earthworms in 2 days. Even her little poops are adorable. (Yes, I have lost my mind)

I cant seem to upload any pix dang it! This is driving me bananas! wanna show off my baby!!!

One little egg, one little turtle!

You go girls! Sophie nested in june, all night long in a crazy thunderstorm. of course i neglected to write down the date :(

Caught these two mating yesterday before the storm that rolled in last night and brought us yet another cold-snap. Sophia may be as old as 60? I've had her 29 years, wasn't sure she was even still in the lovemaking game! Absolutely thrilled about it Everybody came out of hibernation in...
