I found it hard to believe that my female began mating earlier this month of April. I always thought that box turtles generally become sexually mature between seven and ten years. However, this happened.


Then, just a few days ago, I've seen nesting behavior every evening.


I have no way of knowing if she is gravid, she is always heavy, as the male, and she will clamp down on her rear plastron if I try to put my fingers in there. lol

I see your boxies are in a indoor setup just watch for eggs if the dirt is not deep enough she may hesitate to lay or just lay them on top of the substrate. Eastern x 3toed? Good luck.
