Avoid tomato’s with her. Boxies and tomato’s or peppers do not mix very well. Also make sure she is getting enough warmth and calcium. Sometimes they can be pretty picky eaters and stubborn when it comes to changes but as long as you can slowly inroduce what she needs I’m sure she will be fine.

Honestly I wouldn’t be too concerned. Just as long as he is getting the right amount of calcium and light exposure. I don’t have experience with leopards but my Florida Box Turtle took awhile to notice any significant growth

Thank you so much!!

Honestly I had my doubts and didn’t see much change for a long time. Then all of a sudden she started growing and changing into what she is now.

I hope that poor little baby got the care he needed Surprisingly box turtles can be very resilient as long as they can get the proper care in time.

I’m fairly new to how many different types of box turtles there are and as I’m learning it’s crazy to think that there are so many! I never even thought of cross breeding either in the wild or captivity! I also have a box turtle rescue and though I had no idea when she was younger, it’s very...

Thank you! ☺️

Thank you!! I’m actually currently looking for her earlier pictures that I have. I will gladly post them as soon as I find them!

I’m really excited about finally joining a tortoise forum! I’ve had so many questions over the past couple of years and google searching hasn’t been very helpful in a few areas. I have a 4 or 5 year old wild Florida box turtle that was prematurely hatched. Thankfully I have made leaps and...
