Small Box Turtle Species

[TheGoldenBoy]

Hello. Does anyone know of any box turtle species that stays relatively small? Also, do you guys know of any store chains that I can get one/where did you get yours? Thanks.

I believe ornates are the smallest of them all. Three toeds stay relatively small. Stay away from gulf coasts - they get quite large as far as box turtles go. I adopted my box turtles from rescue groups. Do not buy from chain stores. I don't believe they even sell box turtles anymore. Look through the sale ads here, there are some who breed them.

Ok. Thank you! I'll check out some rescue groups in my area.
