I have a Zoo Med 100w CHE that I got when adopting some EBTs. Would it be ok to use this in a Flukers brand clamp dome (10 1/2") rated for up to 250w incadescent and CHE bulbs? This is all the pet store has available and I'm trying to raise temps for sick EBTs. I have never used heat/light...
Hi, I have been having a couple of EBT issues and posted them in the tortoise health section. I was just wondering if most of the wonderful box turtle people ever frequent that forum? If so, can anyone please offer advice...I feel like I've received the greatest help from everyone in this...
Hi, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. I have an EBT that has lived here in my outdoor enclosure for about 3 weeks. She has been very active and one of my best eaters since she arrived. The last 2 days, I noticed she was slowing down in her activity...figured just settling in.

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me. I adopted this EBT from someone who had him in a dryer midwest climate and was having a hard time keeping the humidity up in his enclosure. The keeper was trying very hard to provide the care he needed and deserved and had adopted him out of an unknown...
One of my EBTs peed in the water and it was Fluorescent yellow/green. They often relieve themselves in the water and that is not my concern as I know this is common. It just so happens that this time it was a fluorescent shade of yellow/green or lime green. Is this normal?
Ok, I may have gotten carried away w/ the pics; however, I figured it was past due! :) As always, thanks to everyone for the advice and sharing your own turtle/tort pics and experiences.

It says baby EBT, but I don't think so...it's hard to tell, but I'm thinking Ornate or Florida?? Either way, I hope someone has the space for it...it's a good price and I certainly hope it's not being kept in a tiny "critter cage".
Is it common for Eastern Box Turtles to have 3 toes on the back feet?
I just received a pair today and they both have only 3 toes on the back feet. I've read somewhere that 4 would be the normal amount, but sometimes they do only have 3. I'm wondering if it's specific to a certain region or...

I'm fairly certain this is not a snapping turtle as I have seen my share.......Correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like a Florida Soft Shell or something similar??
I hope someone can get her. :)

Hi, I was wondering what is everyone's opinions on the best EBT prepared food available?
I will be supplementing with live proteins, fresh vegs & fruits...I just need a staple food for their add ins.
Also, what type of vitamins should I sprinkle on and how often?
Thank you in advance...
I just found this ad...it looks like this turtle could really use adequate housing, etc.

I'm trying to learn how to determine sexes in EBTs. I have read and viewed all info, but am having a hard time. Can anyone help to validate or determine?
Pics 1 & 2 -- I feel 100% sure this is pic of male tale/cloaca. Does anyone disagree?
Pic 3 -- I feel about 95% this is pic of...
