Looking to make more detailed list of all plants that eastern box turtles can eat, be them natice or not , hardy or annual or biannuals, weeds or flowers or trees ect . Most sites I search have the typical hosta, dandilions, strawberries, blueberries, and greens. Hoping find more to add to...

I’m upgrading my box turtle to a 5x2x2. Reptifiles says to have a proper gradient, you need to have a t5 HO 5.0 that is around half the enclosure in length. Franklins current uvb is 22” long, is that close enough for about half the enclosure being 6in off, or should I get another foot long bulb...

Trust me. we've tried LITERALLY EVERYTHING we even carved a worm out of cantaloupe and she wouldn't eat it. She will only nibble on dead plants sometimes, worms, and... the straps on my pants. she just turned a year old.

Hello, I got a baby Eastern box turtle about a month ago and I’m not sure I’m doing everything right. This is my first non-mammal pet and it’s so hard to tell if it’s behavior is normal or if something is wrong. I provide a heat lamp that keeps a basking spot 88 degrees Fahrenheit and a UVB...

Detailed (possible?) issue: Hey Mike here (Male EBT) doesn't like to ever move unless we actually pick him up and move him or entice him with food. Sometimes we take him out for walks in the backyard and instead of walking around he immediately runs to any cover. Maybe not full speed but he...

I recently got a sick box turtle off the side of the road. I had planned on getting him better and putting him back where he came from once he was all good. I looked into rescues, exotic vets, conservation programs in my area, and wild life centers that might be willing to take him once he's...

Hello! I am looking for eastern box turtle, I am a hobbyist. Let me know if you are selling thanks

Hi! I’m posting this for a friend who has some turtles! They’re 10 months old! One is 66 grams and the other is 54 grams! Their shells are cracking a bit. I hope you can see in the picture that the top scutes have gaps instead of it all being smooth. Is this normal? I’ve tried to look at other...

Hi all! I adopted a male EBT about three months ago. He is estimated to be about 40-50 years old. He’s doing alright, but i can tell he’s very shy. He always retreats when I clean his water or even put food in his enclosure. He never goes for his food right away and sometimes won’t even eat...

Hi everyone! I just adopted my first eastern box, and I want to build him a larger indoor enclosure. I was thinking of connecting two 36" long x 17" wide x 14" deep plastic containers longways (so it would be about 70" long total). I have been people connect them with a tunnel or by...

Looking for a yearling /juvenile captive bred box turtle, eastern or three toed please!

I’ve recently been given an about 2 year old Eastern Box Turtle. I’m currently building her a tortoise table (before me she was kept in a tank) and I’m curious what to do because she seems dehydrated. I used to have a Hermann tortoise (rescue) and when I got him I took him to a vet and he said...

Hi everyone! So my box turtle is about a year and a half old, when i picked her up the other day, I noticed her legs were considerably paler on the parts that she uses to wipe her face if she gets food in her face. It seems as though shes rubbed that part of her legs raw... any ideas on whats...
