    Does This Look Normal?

    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!

    Specific Questions About Hatchling Care

    Hi all, I just received a pair of 3-Toed Box Turtles about 2 months ago. These are my first turtles and my first reptiles. This lack of experience is the reason I am posting. I keep them outside in a spacious enclosure, and the female just laid a clutch of eggs about a week ago. I have...
