    Is David’s Jungle a reputable breeder?

    David Jensen is a very reputable dealer. This forum can sometimes be challenging. If a potential buyer is interested in acquiring healthy turtles and tortoises, I would encourage you to call him. Would not rely on the advice posted in the forum. There is a steep learning curve. I find...

    Is David’s Jungle a reputable breeder?

    Purchased a female and male 6 month old Cherryhead hatchlings. They came in great condition. 6 months later they are doing well. Highly recommend David. He is a great source of information.

    Need advice on tort falling on back

    Are u sure your tortoise is a male? Females; particularly, those new to egg laying become hyperactive during this time. A veterinarian can do a physical exam to check the birth canal. Digital x-ray is even better. Very low x-ray exposure. Good luck.

    Yearling Getting Very Picky

    Red wrigglers are not usually a highly regarded meal item for our Eastern Box Turtles. Usually, offer nightcrawlers. Started fruits and vegetables at age one. Now that Fall is here, they are brumating.

    Rescues: What to do in your 70’s

    I gave my wife Eastern Box turtles for her 65th birthday. She is now approaching 70. We have been together for nearly half a century having met at the campus bookstore at Brown University. Our daughter is 30 yo. She may adopt our pets. But, animal rescues are a common path for many of us. I...

    Need a home for Red foot

    Have 3 Eastern Box turtles and one Gulf Coast Box turtles. 2 females and 2 males. Had Indian Star tortoise, but was Failure to thrive. At one year weighed 30 gm. Went to the happy hunting ground. Because I live in the suburbs of Boston, Box turtles make more sense.
