    Willow

    Just wanted to show off my 1year old 3-toed boxie Willow It’s been many years since I’ve had a box turtle and the last one I had (Daisy) was an adult when I got her so raising a baby is very different. It took me a long time to find one for sale too!

    Vet?

    Should I take my 3 month old red foot to the vet? There doesn't seem to be any problems with him but I'm just wondering if a wellness check up is something I should do or should I leave him alone unless there's an issue?

    Red foot (indoor) enclosure recommendations
