I REALLY REALLY appreciate your response I was so worried I am glad that it isn't anything that I can't help :)

My juvenile Eastern Box turtle, named Tina, who I have noticed has developed a swollen ear and I am very concerned about who I can treat it and what it actually is. I have attached pictures thank you so much for your help!

would it be a good idea to cross breed a three-toed box turtle and an ornate box turtle to produce a hybrid of the species because I would think it would be beautiful but are there any risks that I should be aware of so that I don't do anything bad for them both?

perfect!

Looking for any kind of morph (mostly albino) but does anyone know of any good websites or breeders where I could get some from? Thanks!

Ok I will take your advice I mean its in mother nature's hands now thanks!

no there isn't but I am trying to get him into a safe location soon because I don't want to influence him

The eye was freshly cut and has since scabbed over and I am afraid is going to lose it he does have some bite marks on the back of his shell (most likely a raccoon) but missing arm is healed and scarred over although it has bone jutting out :oops:

I know that this is about turtles not tortoises but this is very urgent to me. I found a Southeastern musk turtle flipped over on its back 5 days ago now this seemed a little odd since he was in about 3 inches of water but then I noticed he was struggling to flip back over because he is missing...

that link answered all my questions thanks!

I know right genetics are a funny thing but I really am intrigued by them

Thanks I think I will check out that book because I am very interested in the topic

How are tortoises selectively bred as albinos I have looked everywhere and I just can't seem to find anything about it anywhere I know that a pair of "hypos" are but I don't even know what those are. Sorry if I seem uneducated I'm kinda new to tortoise breeding.

I read a lot of positive reviews I haven't heard anything Bad about him thank you so much for suggesting him he has great prices and I am excited to buy from him!

That's a beautiful tortoise he looks very well fed. I think once my tortoise hits 7 inches then I will put him in the enclosure so about in a couple months!

Ok thank you both I appreciate the helpful responses.

I'm asking at what age should I move my sulcata to a permanent outdoor enclosure

I got some more input thanks for the comment :)

So I am wondering what age should I put my sulcata in a 10' by 10' foot enclosure outdoors?

I have been told that box turtles are a kind of misnamed North American tortoise but I am not 100% on that since I have seen some people call them a kind of turtle. Sorry to put something not completely about tortoises up but this has been nagging at me for months.
