Maggie's boxies

[Maggie Cummings]

I thought I might show off some of my box turtles. I know most of you know my tortoises but I rarely talk about my box turtles or show them off...so here's some of them...here's one of my outside box turtle enclosures...

This is the Goof Ball... he's a yearling here but he's an adult now

Here's Tweezer he's 6 years old and deformed as heck

Here's several having a nap. I have a lot of hides, but this is how they sleep

Different day, different group, same pots I added another pot...

Hey Danny...does this guy look familiar to you???

There's more but I'll save them for another time...hope you enjoyed them...

Aw Maggie They're lovely. They look so happy. I can't believe how deformed that poor guy is, shampies ! I absolutely love the pic of the Goof Ball, he's definitely eyeing the camera out, poser

Nice pictures Maggie He does look very familiar, except he doesn't do that any more. He did it a few times the first couple of days with the group, but hasn't done it since.

Really nice pictures Maggie.
All your boxies are adorable and too cute .
I love the pic with Goof Ball, it looks like he is saying ''did you call me mama''
And I just love Tweezer, poor little one, He must be very happy that he is in good hands now .
Thanks for sharing.

Oh Maggie what cute little Box Turtles. I love the first ones eyes. Kind of buggie. Do they still look like that? That one is very deformed what happened to it and is it a Box Turtle too?

 

[Maggie Cummings]

Tweezer was deformed already when I got him, but I have never been able to teach him to eat decent food. So he lives off of what he will eat with tweezers and a syringe. So he eats super worms and cat food and babyfood and he stays deformed. He an Ornate box turtle. Quite active but just not healthy and deformed badly.
