Thanks for the quick reply @Yvonne G I've had her for roughly 6 months and was chewed on by a dog or raccoon the owner said. She's been fine for the past 6 months until this randomly appeared
I noticed my box turtle not moving at all for the last 2 days, well that's normal behavior for her lol but today I went and checked on her and she was still there so I picked her up and noticed this weird hoke to the left of her tail. I have no idea of what it is but looks like my dog when it...
Any box turtle breeders around Houston area? Specifically looking for ornates or easterns. Maybe 3 toeds just contact me if you have any. Thanks, Jordan
My vet said she has minor she'll rot and can be treated easily so she gave me some stuff to rub on it and I have seen improvement. I don't really pay much attention to it though.
It's getting late in the laying season so I'm worried about her and the "eggs" in her. Hopefully she will lay soon.
She can close up completely but just barely shows her hind feet nails. I've lost turtles to raccoons before so I haven't had her outside at night but give her around 5 hours of sunlight and a nice roomy wading pool setup with uvb upstairs to aid her she'll growth.
I live in Houston TX and it's 109° right now and in the winter the lowest we get is around 30 but never any snow. The previous owner had her in horrible conditions and even let her live in water with no uvb or some heat source. I doubt she was ever mated.
Her attack was when she was young the previous owner said. I've had her for 2 years and decided to add a male this year. The first time she mated was late march-early april. I will put some cuttlebone in there. Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.
To start off, she was a rescue and was attacked by a raccoon or dog. She has a nesting box like the one in the link and is housed outside in a 15x15ft enclosure. The last time I introduced the male back into the enclosure was probably 2 weeks ago and they mated. But the plaster on was injured in...
Hey guys! I'm Jordan Canales from Houston tx! I have been raising turtles and tortoises for 10 years now. I currently have a breeding pair of 3 toeds, 2 baby res, and a Russian tortoise. I have a love for tortoises and a love for the god that created them. I also love to hunt and fish.

Not sure if pregnant or not, she's been with my male a couple times and mated. She gets puffy around her hind legs and her tail looks a lot shorter and fatter especially at the front of the tail.
