I agree. When i talk to them they'll often times tilt their head and just stare at me. They're by far my favorite species of turtle/tortoise. I have earthworms in their enclosure for food & bioactive purposes and my favorite thing to watch is when they dig around and hunt for them. They are...

Three-toed box turtles!

Thanks everyone! She finally made it out of the egg today and is enjoying her first soak.

That's an awesome idea! Noel it is 😊. I will be sure to post a picture of her after she's made it out of the egg!

Thanks everyone!

Thank you!!

These little ones weren't supposed to hatch until Dec. 29th, but i've been checking on them every day for the past few days. I was so surprised when i saw one hatched. No better day to hatch than on Christmas. I have a Christmas baby!! Merry Christmas everyone!🙂

Last little update for everyone that is interested. They are doing good! All of them have completely hatched and absorbed most of their yolk. Should be ready to go into their grow out enclosures within the next few days. Thanks for everyone who helped! :)

Thank you so much for the advice Tom, i appreciate it! Very useful information.

Thank you. I washed it off just now and stuck it in the incubator to let it warm up for a little bit before i put them on it :).

I do have lettuce, i'll try that! Thank you so much.

I'm still waiting on my newly hatched boxxies to fully absorb their yolk sac before i move them into their enclosure, however when i took them out to give them a soak just now i noticed one of them had nibbled a very tiny piece of paper towel that i had them on. I don't want them to eat much...

I contacted the previous owner and no response yet but i'll be sure to update if they respond. That would be pretty cool! I'll grow them up and see what happens, if i get curious enough i'll try the DNA thing for sure.

That would explain it then! I'm used to seeing an all brown patternless turtle i guess 🤔
