I am almost to tears while writing this, no joke. Rupert is the little musk we found in a box on our car. It was like someone left a wee baby on our doorstep. Alas we have no place for him. We were thinking about combining him with a RES we have, but after looking online at stories of turtles...
At school today when we were let out for lunch we found a box just sitting ontop of our car. There is a little guy in there with food. He is semi wet, we dont know how long he's been in the shoebox. This is the baby:
We have absolutely no clue what he is. His feet are webbed like an...
Here is baby Alroy at 2 months! Happy Birthday! :D
Health Question: Is a nose bubble normal every once in a while or are they all together bad? In his enclosure I have cypress mulch at the bottom, Coconut husk at top, and the Sphangum moss around the enclosure. The heat is between 80-85...
So I was watching him as he walked toward me and I saw a bubble form out of his nose, very small, and didn't linger. But I notice he rubs his eyes alot and sometimes they water. He does that frogging neck thing, and makes a clicking type noise when he does. He eats really well but I've only seen...
Say 'Ello to our newest (and last) addition to our beautiful little family.
Baby Alroy.
He's a month old, still has the little spike on his beak. He's a charmer as well. Love to just cuddle up beside you and take a nap. He started nawing on his Calcium Bone as soon as he was put in...
Say hey howdy hey to my new addition. She does not have a name yet, but she'll have one soon. I bought her at a local pet-store, and she seems pretty healthy 'leavings' wise, no diarrhea or anything. She does pee out white stuff, which scared me at first but now that I know its normal we're all...
Before we put them in the incubator.
The makeshift incubator. 100% natural top soil. The light was switched to a blacklight. A lid was placed ontop to retain humidity.
So Ma'am laid an egg last Monday. Then on Wed. I found 2 more! I hurriedly and carefully placed them in the...
My name is AmberJean and I reside in Virginia. I go to college for art. I have a eastern box turtle named Ma'am. And now a egg! I love turtles and have owned a red ear slider that lived to be atleast 8. I have 2 horses and 5 dogs. I love animals more then anything. :tort:
I have this beautiful eastern box turtle named Ma'am.
Roughly 2 days ago I found a random egg in her pen. There was only one and was partially covered by the moss I placed in there that she is always hiding under. She has mated a couple of times with a friends turtle. But I found it odd...
