Someone emailed me about a box turtle and I now am giving him a home. He's a male 3 toed very healthy. I was surprise when I saw him. He was in a tiny home and the lady just wanted it to go to a new home. He lives in a table right now but will go outside when spring hits. Guess I can't post the pictures cuz I posted to many pictures lol. Didn't know that was possible. Ill try again later, I'm going to try phoyobucket and then do it that way

Thanks, been awhile since I've had box turtles, but they are still my favorite.

The first two pictures are the males he was a rescued from a friend. And the 3rd picture is a female she was rescued from a lady that couldn't keep her due to a move. Both are healthy , female was a little dehydrated but she's doing good.

They will do great with you Kyle. They are really nice looking TT's. Looks like they have a perfect set up too.

I don't know if I came up with this but I've never seen it anywhere else I use a small Rubbermaid container for a water bowl as it is long and fits well against a wall of the enclosure and provides lots of cheap space for multiple turtles plus it is super easy to keep clean

Good idea, how deep is it tho? I usually use paint trays at Home Depot they have the orange plastic ones. Good plastic

well that looks fine to me I just use the ones from the dollar store they are several inches deep but I don't fill them all the way and I'll place a flat piece of slate at the ends to aid in exiting the tub but the paint tray seems to work just fine
