Hi :) We found out that we are moving into a smaller home and we will not have space to give them the enclosure size that they need/deserve, so we are looking for a new home for them. The trio includes 2 females and 1 male. I am asking $50 ea for them.
I am not currently interested in...
I am having trouble telling the gender of my adult 4 box turtles. If I were to go by concave plastron, I would have 3 boys and 1 girl but if I am to go by tail, I have 3 girls and 1 boy. So confused!!! Thanks!
Hello everyone :) I have 4 adult boxies (and various other turts and torts) I thought I knew genders, but now I'm not so sure. I'd love your input!
I have posted LOTS of pics in this picasa web album...
Hello :) I know there have been several threads about keeping hermit crabs with either box turtles or redfoot torts. In general, I LOVE the idea.
I have kept small hermit crabs in with an adult box turtle before, but I am planning to get a couple of yearling boxies next week (yippeeee) and...
I bought one of these a few months back and I LOVE it for spraying down tort enclosures. They are sturdy and have such a high output compared to the other bottles I have used. Thought it might be helpful to someone :)...
Hi :) I have seen a few pics of people who have made tort tables/enclosures that are 2-3 stories high. With one tort/breed on the bottom and a different tort/breed on the top.
I also wanted to ask what the minimum space in between the two "floors" could be. Would 2 ft be too close? In...
I am thinking about adding a couple of Leos (for a total of 3) in the next year and I am trying to make sure I have the yard space for 3 adults. What size would you recommend for 3 ADULT leopard tortoises? Thanks for the help!
I've read some conflicting things about this. I would like to put it in a place that would shade both my Russians and my Leo, but just wanted to check with the experts first :) Thanks!
How long would the ground (enclosure) need to be fallow/empty before a different breed of tortoise could be housed there, without fear of passing on disease?
Thanks!
The vet guessed that Ivan and Tonya are between 8-10 years old. Tonya is especially outgoing and loves to come begging for food any time I come up to their enclosure :) These two Russians have an amazing amount of personality...
Hi, just wanted to share our little sweetie :) His/Her name is Sunny. Feel free to take a guess as to whether we have a boy or a girl in the 3rd picture :)

I really wanted to get these guys, but I can't drive that far. Anyone else close?

I know growth rates vary a lot, but I was curious what YOUR leos weighed at age 2-3.
Also, any idea (approximately) when they reach full size?
Thanks so much!
Hello :) I'm a newbie here, on this forum, but not to turtles/tortoises, and I am planning to get into box turtles sometime relatively soon. I am working on planning their outdoor enclosure and had a couple of questions :)
For those of you who have built outdoor enclosures for your boxies:

Hi, as I said above, my name is Rachel. My husband and I, along with our 5 kids, live in Virginia :) I currently have a 2 1/2yo leopard tortoise and a pair of Russians (8-10yo). I am also looking into getting box turtles again.
As a teenager, I kept box turtles. When I was in college I...
