She mentioned she keeps it at 30-50% humidity. That's too low, isn't it? Should be like 70% or more, right?

A friend of mine sent me a picture of her juvenile three-toed (about a year old). Is it just me or does the shell not look right? I'd appreciate some insight!

Hi guys, One of my hatchling 3-toeds has had an eye swelling issue since I happened upon him outside about 6 weeks ago (missed him when digging up the other 2 somehow). I just took him to the vet, and they prescribed anti-biotics and said to keep him somewhere clean with no loose dirt. Now, I...

Hi everyone, so I went outside this morning to check on the adults, and noticed a 3rd baby just sitting on top of the leaves in the rain. Brought him inside and soaked him in warm water, but I noticed that one of his eyes is quite swollen. What can I do to help remedy this? Also, they have...

If it's truly an ornate box turtle it needs to be in organic top soil, not water. Box turtles are not aquatic species, even though they enjoy water. It needs places to burrow. That needs to be corrected immediately

At what point should I get worried about their lack of eating? This is 3 days in a row now they've totally ignored the food. They haven't even seemed to look at it.

Thank you. So far they've buried themselves and refused food, I am warming the enclosure with my CHE now. Should I be alarmed if they just want to hide?

Hi guys, My female 3-Toed laid a clutch about 3 months ago. They had yet to come up, so out of curiosity I dug down and, lo and behold, found 2 live babies. Their yolk sacs are totally gone, which tells me they've been down there a while. I soaked them in some warm water for a while and they...

Hmm here is another view. From my Google searches I really do think this is a Triungus

Doesnt appear to be. Was sold to me as a 3-Toed and has 3 toes. The markings are different from an Eastern from what I can tell haha. You're not the first person on here to mention that though. The breeder is based in Mississipi and his stock his a bit more colorful than normal. Of course I...

Update: Went into the vet, he checked it out and said the bites weren't full thickness so I'm ok. I just hope this doesnt traumatize her too much with cold weather coming in fast.

It was completely my fault. I left my stupid dog outside for too long and went outside to find that he had harassed and bitten my female 3-Toed on the shell. The damage looks mostly superficial, and no tissue was hurt, but I am worried and don't know what I should do now. I have included...

I had a 3-Toed lay a clutch about 77 days ago. No hatchlings yet, but I've been keeping the area the eggs are buried wet daily. Is there a point I should dig down and see if they're just not able to get out themselves? Or are they gonna be ok if they did indeed hatch? The only reason I ask this...

As sure as I can be haha, she does have 3 toes and was sold to me by a 3-Toed breeder. I see why you think that but there is a distinction. Her shell coloration is definitely quite pronounced

Here are my male and female for comparison, quite easy to tell apart

That looks like a male to me. The shell coloring and head are a dead giveaway

Just curious, how do you guys mount your UVB tube lights? I'm trying to figure out how I would do that.

Awesome! What do you use for the water in the 3-Toed enclosure?

Do you have any more pictures of the entire enclosure? I'm super curious to see how it looks!

Sand is a BIG no-no. Read the hatchling care sheet that is pinned to the top of this forum section, it has a whole paragraph about substrate. Some mix of organic top soil, sphagnum moss, coco coir, etc. is typically what you would want.
