2023 Captive born eastern box turtles.

Shipping is Monday-Wednesday(if this doesn'twork we can discuss).

Pictures of adult parents can and will be provided upon request.

These guys are being kept in a closed chamber. I do this for the first year of life to ensure two things: smooth shell growth, and proper humidity. It is absolutely CRUCIAL these guys have sufficient access to water as they can dry out and die. My motto, "You want grapes, not raisins." Which is why I keep them in an inch of water I clean every other day.

Like their adult counter parts, these guys are omnivores, feeding on a variety of things from insects, fungi, berries, and animal protein to name a few. The hatchlings have been feeding on dubia, mealworms, worms, superworms, soldier fly larvae, and entertained a bit of cactus pear.

Right now they are predominantly going after things with movement.

For any additional questions about care or box turtles in general, PLEASE ASK. It is not annoying. These are rewarding animals to work with and can even be kept outside year round once they reach adult size and are provided with suitable enclosures.
Do your homework and prepare beforehand
