Hi, I joined the forum because I need some advice for one of my turtles. My oldest is Maxine, she's an Eastern Box that I found in 1969 in Bucks County, PA. She was pretty old when I found her. I took her to a local Herpetologist and she said that she was probably born around World War 2. She eats okay, but not as regular as she used to. I moved to S. Florida in 1981 and found an elderly female Florida Box in my yard a month after I moved in. So, I put her in with Maxine to keep her company. Both have done very well over the years, but for 2 months now, Star, my Florida Box has had problems with her hind legs. She doesn't seem to have any strength in her back legs, and she pulls herself around with just her front legs. She is also getting more fussy about what she eats, and will only eat small earthworms. Old dogs have problems with their back legs. I was wondering if box turtles have similar issues? I've read that Florida Boxes live to around 50, but Eastern Boxes can live to be over 100.
