He was the product of a wild box turtle mating with my neighbor's female, my neighbor only had the one turtle so he was surprised to find her laying eggs. This particular guy weighed in at 372 grams.
I see him all the time down the road, I live in the country so he'll be okay, he shows up in my backyard sometimes. Years back I remember when he was a hatchling, he was so cute.
Hi, my name is Kasey. I started off just coming here for information when I had my first turtle, an eastern painted hatchling named Kitty. Sadly she died in February of Metabolic Bone Disease. Now I am a soon to be tortoise owner and am in the process of building a tortoise table.
