How long is the boxie (straight carapace length)?Someone dropped him off so I need a little help I need help identify his age and gender I'm gonna keep him
Nope someone dumped himI just looked at the picture from the side in the other thread. Definitely not a hatchling. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable guessing as to age, either. @Yvonne G would be a good one to ask.
Do you know anything about this turtle's history or background?
How long ago? Have you tried giving the turtle a soak yet?Nope someone dumped him
Looks like my western box did after we found her she had been lost in our back yard for two years. Once she got healthy again her colors came out on her shell. Brown eyes makes Junior a girl.Someone dropped him off so I need a little help I need help identify his age and gender I'm gonna keep him
OkayIf you have a ruler or tape measure handy, it might help to know how long the turtle is. Straight carapace length (SCL) is from the front to the back of carapace (top shell). Not over the curve, just straight. You/we can get an idea of you set a ruler down next to the turtle and take a picture.
Yea I've let him in my big lake to swimHow long ago? Have you tried giving the turtle a soak yet?
