You're right they are African Marigolds, a few were labeled Pot Marigolds, but after planting I'm not sure if any of them even are or which ones they are now. I'll remove them. Good catch! Thanks!

Also, I should have added that the enclosure is located in a half sun/half shade and indict ally fenced off area of the yard. This way my dogs can still go outside freely without me having to worry about them trying to mess with her or the enclosure itself.

Hello all! It's been a while since I've been online, but I wanted to give an update on Tippy and post some pictures of the progress on her new outdoor habitat. She has doubled her weight in six months, growing from just under 100 grams to over 200 grams! Her shell has grown so beautifully, with...

I work with a local rescue group and have rescued and rehabilitated box turtles for years. I will do what is best for them. You can't always put them back where they came from, due to a number of factors. Charlotte area is booming with development and undoubtedly they would be subjected to...

Thank you @wellington. I'll make sure to keep everyone posted. Hopefully I will get a response and take the lot home with me. Hope everyone has a good evening. :)

I'm not a moderator, but enough already. Please, take this up in a private message or take it to a debatable thread. If you have a personal bone to pick with someone, take it up with them privately. This threads purpose is to inform and help and no one can speed that process up when we've...

I've sent them another email stating that I am working on a home for the rabbit but couldn't make any promises, but regardless to let me know about the turtles. I gave them my cell number and asked them to contact me at their convenience. If I get an update, I will let everyone on this thread...

Let's cease the arguing, it's not doing the animals, nor us, any good. We all have personal experiences with both animals and people in situations like this one that make us react in our own ways. Sometimes it's anger, sometimes compassion, sometimes empathy, etc. The simple fact is that the...

I will do everything in my power to help all parties involved. I will keep you all informed.

Fair enough. My aim was not to be judgmental of the people in such a flippant way, and the statement about them procreating was something I should have kept to myself because, you're right, I don't know them. But to see two species placed in such a careless manner together, hurts everyone's...

Often people in NC find box turtles on the side of the road and decide to keep them as pets because they're cute. Our numbers of wild box turtles are dramatically dwindling in the state due to this and habitat loss. No where in the ad states how long they've been kept, which is why I emailed...

Just sent them an email asking for more info on the turtles and said I would take them but told them outright that I can't take the rabbit. I don't understand what "maintenance" they're referring to, as they appear to have done no such thing. Glad these morons are procreating.... We'll see what...

Ok I'm officially pissed now. If they are Eastern Box Turtles (which they appear to be) that were wild caught, I have a mountain house that is far from the beaten path of idiots like these and if I do acquire them, they will be going back to the wild. I need to find someone to take the rabbit...

I live about an hour away from Charlotte, but I can't access the link for some reason. I'll try searching for "turtle" on CLT Craigslist and see if I can find it.

I realize that this post was created in January and you may have already taken this vaca, but I love in Greensboro NC and would be willing to help if you still need someone to look after him. What type of tortoise is it? I own a leopard tortoise.
