    Native Plants for Three Toed Box Turtle (North Tx)

    Hello! Working on an outdoor enclosure for Three Toed Box Turtles and would love to have some native edible plants for them to munch on.

    Greetings, my turtles, & questions (long post!)

    Greetings! I've kept turtles since I was three years old - I'm 21 now and I'm getting a lot more into the hobby recently. Little story: My 3 toed boxie, Roger (not actually sure if male or female, but I will get to that later), was kept in my parent's backyard for most of his life. Typically...
