My Three toed Box turtle disappeared from her enclosure August 2013. It turns out she was hiding and survived by hibernating through the New England Winter. I discovered her in her enclosure a couple weeks ago and I was elated.
Every morning when I change her water she is right there waiting...
Today while cleaning up my old box turtle enclosure, she came walking over to me. I lost her or thought I lost her last August.
This means she hibernated through a New England winter something she has never done sine I first adopted her in 1989.
I am stunned and elated and I am so happy...

Hello,
This is breaking my heart, something got both of my adult, over 20 years, three toed box turtles. They were both in an outdoor enclosure using cinder blocks, they could not climb over nor burrow under. I was hoping they were hiding really well, but they always came out when I...

Did I fall for marketing or is the ZooMed Basking light...

Ok here's my story, while planning on decorating Cleo, my boxy friend’s, indoor habitat, I read a list of safe plants and Dracaena was mentioned.
I like Dracaena and I bought several kinds from the discount rack at Walmart. She's a terror and if she kills them, I have back ups.
Well I...
I have no idea where they even got this turtle.
This is the primary reason why turtles under 4" are illegal. Stupid people buying things they did not reasearch, do not understand and neglecting will cause harm to the animal and everyone who comes in contact with the animal.
