ISO BABY TURTLE/TORTOISE

[baby box turtle]

I live in Indiana if anyone can help please let me know thank you. I have already been scammed $200 2 times 1st time by store/people that go by "exotic reptiles for adoption" this last time by a woman whos name is "Kelly Vei Jagri" her page is called "adult and babies turtles tortoises for sale"

Might help to be more specific. A tortoise lives on land. A turtle lives in water or a Box turtle lives on land but needs an area to swim in.
What do you have to house either one?
Do you want a small species? All of them need more than a small aquarium.
Any breeders listed on this forum will be legit.

Hi @baby box turtle , and welcome!

I'm so sorry to hear you were scammed, but I appreciate that you shared with us the scammers names! Shame on them!!!

Box turtles generally hatch out in September, so this is a good time to be looking for them. Do you have any particular species in mind? and have you taken a look through our For Sale section to see if you can find names of members who have sold them in the past?

I took a look at Kelly's facebook page and it looks to me as if she's NOT in the states. I doubt very much if she actually even has any box turtle hatchlings. Looks like she's heavy into exotic tortoises.

Thank you for that.

It has a water hole for soaking another water bowl section with flat rock to eat by fresh soils to dig n burry in if they'd like witch is the shaded half the other half is open to sun

What do you have for the cold winter months?
Also a baby needs to be in a closed chamber for 2 to 3 years.
I think you would benefit a lot from deciding what species you want and then reading the caresheet for that specie and getting all the proper lighting, heat, humidity and enclosure set up before buying.

f I find the baby or any baby like I'm praying for then he or she will be inside the house I have an enclosure that i made it's in a tank it has a light for heat above a piece of flat rock it has mixed soil and bark in the tank and more on the side across from the heat lamp so it can hide in there water n food containers a smallish dish to soak it in and a small purple plastic log to hide inside

Soil bought from the store should not be used. A tank is good only for a hatchling. You will need night heat with winter coming.
There are baby Russians for sale on this forum. Tortoisesupply.com has a few different species of tortoises available also.
I really think though, you should decide on what you want. A tortoise or a box turtle. They have very different care and diets. Just taking the first thing you find is pretty irresponsible in my opinion. Learn first then buy.

If I could find baby box turtles then yes that's be my 1st choice but if all that I'm able to find are other tortoise breeds then I will do all I'm able to to learn what I need to to give them the care that they require I appreciate your advice though so thank you
