Hey Tickle....I live right over the bridge in Staten Island, and have been living with Box turtles from the day I was born...many, many, many years ago. My Dad always had a turtle garden, when we lived in Brooklyn, and I've had one here in SI for well over thirty years too. We had our oldest box turtle for over 65 years, and he was old when we got him. Two Summers ago he never came up from hibernation. Box turtles are my favorite! I have some Eastern's, a Gulf Coast, and two Three Toed's. Every one has a different personality and keep me laughing all the time. Do you hibernate yours outside? All mine are dug under now except for two little ones that are inside for the Winter.
Eastern owner of three babies! Glad you have some good experience.
