It’s really hitting me today just how big this little guy is getting!! When I rescued Twig from a coworker his conditions were horrible I was so worried there was already to much damage done from the neglect. Being raised in a dry less than 5 gallon glass tank and being fed scraps of bread and pasta with sauce. He was a tiny 11 grams and today he is a strong 33! I can’t wait until his humidity can be lower so I can really build him a nice enclosure!

Baby Box Turtles do very well if raised in shallow water with lots of plants to hide under. You can search out some threads on this site which describe the exact water method which many successful keepers are using.

here is a video on it:
Thank you for the video I follow the garden state tortoise as well! Twig is doing quite well he isn’t being raised completely in water but his enclosure is very wet and humid. I track his growth quite closely and it has been very consistent I’ve had him for only two months and he’s tripled in size! :)
