I have two juvenile boxies, a three toed and a gulf coast. Both are a little over a year of age and were kept up last winter. They lived strictly indoors with lights and heat.
This past May I built them a very nice outdoor habitat and moved them outside, where they have thrived over the summer...
So I have two young boxies, one three toed and one gulf coast. My three toed is probably about a year old and my gulf coast is about 9 months old. They are roughly the same size and housed together in a rubbermaid tote. Their current enclosure is probably about 40 gallons. I'm not positive of my...
I'm having some issues with my young (less than a year old) three toed box turtle.
I bought Lucy back in the summer and she was sold as a 2013 baby. I'm not sure if she hibernated or not, but she seemed a little small to me. She ate like a champ for me from day one.
Now that the weather is...
I'm anxious to hear what others do to keep their young boxies warm in the winter. I used to keep the babies at my office where I could run their lights all day and monitor their temps. Now I've moved them to a larger vivarium at my house, which stays between 68-70 degrees in the winter.
They...
Lucy the three toed and Sam the tan gulf coast are thriving. After a short quarantine and a vet check, they are now housed together in a rubbermaid container. Both are still pretty small...Sam is just a couple months old and I think Lucy is around 6 months old. She supposedly hatched in 2013...
I only recently discovered gulf coast boxies and through this forum have gotten really interested in the species. I decided if an opportunity to own one arose, I would get one.
Yesterday my hatchling gulfie arrived. He's from a pure group of tan phase gulf coasts owned by another member. This...
Today on an errand my service agent saw a box turtle crossing the road. Knowing my love of boxies, he brought it to the office so I could take some pictures. He also noticed some shell damage he wanted me to see.
Ascertained the turtle was just fine, took some photos, then hopped in the car to...
I've had my little three toed boxie baby for about a month now, and she's thriving. Very active, rarely burrows (mostly just uses her hides) and eats like a champ.
She loves her soaks and I'm loving her color. I'm thinking she could be a hybrid and I'm hoping she will have a lot of color as she...
I posted a pic of my dogs earlier, but they are very special to me...so they deserve their own thread!
My oldest is Henry, he's an 8y.o. shelter special. I adopted him almost 7years ago. He's supposedly a beagle/shepherd mix. I don't know about the shepherd, I call him a hound mix. He is a...
Got these photos today of Lucy. I think they show her coloring really well. She seems to have really nice contrasts. I'm very curious to see what sex she turns out to be.
So far young Lucy is doing great. She's very active and fearless and a good eater. I have a couple if questions about husbandry, though. I've never had a boxie this young!
She was hatched fall of 2013, so she's not quite a year old. From nose to tail I'd say she's about 2 inches long. Is this a...
Hello! Last week I was finally able to get back into boxies with the purchase of a captive bred three toed baby. He/she was just born this past fall. I'm calling it a her for the time being and her name is Lucy. I have her in a 10 gal vivarium and she appears to be thriving. I'm in my office six...
