Long story short, a seller had multiple eastern box turtle females for sale and they were numbered, I ordered a number and received a different turtle than ordered. I am not very picky, the animal I received is in great condition and has nice color. However, I just wanted a second opinion that...

I have a couple eastern adults that are all rescues, either from M.A.T.T.S or craigslist. Realistically are there any that are CB that breeders sell? When it comes to the laws in MD, if a DNR officer shows up to inspect your animals, you need documentation of the common name, scientific name, #...

Hello, just wanted to post and get some tips and advice from others. I do plan on adding a cap around the edges this coming weekend and then either look into a full enclosure wire top or electric fence. Still Contemplating. This enclosure houses 4 rescue box turtles. 2.2, was planning for 1.3...

So in November I rescued a male and female box turtle from MATTS. They are currently housed separately in 4x4 tortoise tables, until I can get them into an outdoor enclosure this spring. They are doing fine but I ran across the ad on LetGo for someone selling 2 box turtles 1 male/1 female. They...

I have a few month old EBT and I recently notice she has some swollen eyes. I am not exactly sure what is causing it, but I have been soaking for about 30 minutes a day. I soak for 15 typically but I let her soak for longer. I have noticed her eyes opening some during the soak.She is also very...

I have a 4x3 tortoise table that is home to my three toed box turtle. She has been in this setup for about 3 months now, but as of the last 2-3 weeks I have been noticing nats all over. I typically don't leave any food in longer than a few hours. Just wondering if anyone had any tips on getting...

I have had my ornate hatchling for about 3-4 months. She has for sure been growing but recently she has been just laying around with her eyes closed. Her enclosure gets misted every day and its been going on for about a week now. I have been giving her about 20 minute soaks in warm water every...

I have a female 3-toed which is about 4 inches in length and weighs about 165 grams. I have a 5x5 enclosure setup outside, but with the weather getting cooler, I do not know if this would be the right time to move her outside. I have only had her for a couple months and she has lived indoors, so...

This is my Tortoise/Box Turtle enclosure. At the moment it houses just 1 three toed female. Next spring I plan to put her outdoors in a larger enclosure and move my hatchlings who will be about 9 months at that time in here. Just looking for some tips if anyone notices any ideas on improvements...

I ordered two eastern box turtles hatchlings a few weeks back, and they looked quite different, but I figured it was just from a different clutch or was just variety. After looking closer at them one of them no doubt looks like an eastern, but the other I can only see has 3 toes. It being so...

My name is Eric, I am from Maryland and I have always been fascinated with Box Turtles. Growing up I always found them outside and I would make realistic enclosures for them. They all would escape within a week or if they did stay longer my parents let them go. It's been about ten years since...

I got this turtle from TortoiseTown.com, it was said to be a male, but I know it is never guaranteed. I just wanted a second opinion is all. Its plastron does not seem concave and I cant really tell what color its eyes are. The Ornate is about 3-3/4 inches long.

So let me first introduce myself, I am Eric and I have 2 ornate box turtles and 2 eastern box turtles. The 2 eastern box turtles are hatchlings that I received yesterday. One of them has a piece of its carapace peeling off it seems. It almost looks like plastic wrap that was just stuck to it. In...
