GETTING MY FIRST EBT!!!

[NicoleB26]

Could not me more excited! We are driving 2 hours to go get this cutie pie tomorrow morning. http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/pet/4544760267.html Any tips or advice is welcome!

O. This is her enclosure, can't wait to get her out of that little tank!

Great enclosure! I'll be waiting for pics

Great find!

You're in northeast Ohio and it takes you two hours to get to Akron?

Also, you do need a permit to keep easterns here in Ohio. He is a cutie. And your enclosure looks great! Much better than he was living in.

I'd make it more heavily planted. Bodies like to hang out under plant canopy

Looks good, just might need some more plants, just built this one today for mine.

It has good potential but as stated it needs more plant cover . Good luck!

Picture. Please..........Thanks.

I agree good start, but more plants, the best box turtle habitat, is one where you can't see them.

 

[NicoleB26]

Ok got it more plants! Yes mapquest says 1hr 55 minute drive time and where would I go to get the permit? I have never has to do that before?? Is that something I need to renew periodically or a one time thing! I will post pics this afternoon

Very nice!



Ok I planted some lettuce weed and plants from my yard. Better? Also I have a MVB for UVB I'm wondering if a strip UVB would be better for a box turtle? Do they need a basking spot? I have read both that they do and they don't? Thanks!

PICTURES!!

I was told this is a female but I'm assuming male from the red eyes?

 

[dmmj]

Red eyes are usually a male trait, but females can also have them, but this fellow just screams male t o me for some reason, nice job with the more plants.

 

[NicoleB26]

Thanks. His shell is pretty concave too. He has not moved since I put him in his enclosure. It's probably been 2 hrs. I think he's gonna need some adjusting time lol

 

[dannel]

What plants are you using?

 

[NicoleB26]

Mostly grass and weeds from my yard. I do have one I bought but I can't remember the name of it. I plan to get one or two spider plants too. R there any I shouldn't use for a box turtle?
