HI, not sure if I'm doing this right, but I have 2 nests of eastern box turtle hatchings. 8 in one nest and 7 from another. We were fortunate two find two mommy's making nests on our trails!!!! They are a protected species here in MI. They do recommend protecting the nests which we did with...

K, before everyone freaks out I know my dog looks mean and fierce lol, but she's a BIG BABY!!!!! Ruger (the redfoot) follows her around the house. No the turtle does not run around the house all the time. Just here and there so he's not enclosed all day. Anyway thought the pics were cute. I do...

K, This is his baby pic 4 years ago. We were told he was 14 inches long now, but my hubby and I measured him and he is actually 12 inches. On my last post people said it wasn't possible, so now I'm worried. He is only 4 I spoke with the previous owners and met her grandson. he was 8 when they...

Okay, Yes it looks hillbillyish right now, but will go somewhere monday and get the supplies I need. The heat lamp is just there to do a quick warm up. I just moved it, put the soak pan under the tarp and misted the substrate. Thanks for your help.

This is his enclosure. Anymore suggestions? That's a brush in one of the corners. He LOVES rubbing his shell on it.

I couldn't help myself! found him on craigslist and had to have him. he's huge they said he's 4 years old and 14 inches. such a good boy and came from a loving caring home. I did notice his bottom jaw is over grown. Is this something a vet can grind down? I renamed him Ruger

THANK YOU, THEIR GREAT ADVICE HELPED SAVE THIS TURTLES LIFE! First let me explain how I got her, She was between our...

My daughter and I take at least 2 walks a day down the trails in our backyard. Today we came across 3 eastern box turtles!!!!!! took pictures of 2 of them but the other ran into some brush before I could grab it. The male was BEAUTIFUL the pics don't show all the color, the other was a young I...

Can't find the powder just the tablets. It says 1 pill every 100 pounds. Should I just cut it at about a 10th of the pill?

Hello, me again! I know I've posted a lot about my eggs and sorry for all the posts, but people have given me GREAT advice. About an hour ago we found what I think is a male eastern in our long dirt driveway. He looks to be very sick! His eyes are swollen shut he's tried to open them but can...

Okay, baby made it through the night and will respond to noises! he's still very lazy but does open his eyes here and there. his sitting on his yolk sac because he can't reach the ground.I have him on paper towel now. Should I just mist him and the sac here and there so it won't dry up? also...

Do I keep the paper towel over them? Do I need to mist them? Why is it hardly moving? Are they lazy when hatching? Also it started piping under the egg and has blood coming from the hole! Is something wrong with it?

On day 53 for eastern boxies. I noticed that 1 egg is starting to swell and both are very dark inside meaning their full. Is there anything I should do? I've read a few posts where it says to spritz the egg, but read others that say DON'T spray eggs. Confused!!!!!

Just seen some tiny white bugs on the egg I think went bad. Will they harm the other eggs?
