Paxton is now 82 grams. He ate 5 guppies, 2 worms and a few bites of a hardboiled egg. He is about 6 months old.

Thank you. Paxton has very vibrant colors. Also, getting more trust with me. I forgot how much I love box turtles.
That's lovely. They are such a sweet, timid little turtle. To gain their trust is a compliment. He is very beautiful. I've only had one as a rescue but in the end I found her a good home. I don't have the space for more or I would have kept her. You can't help but love them.

Paxton is doing great! From 15 grams to 104 grams! Today was his minnow meal, and a few crickets for dessert. Yummy 😜

He has food coma from eating his weekly 5 minnows today. LOL. 🥰

I weighed him yesterday and he was 122 grams. Growing so quick. I know they all are different however is his growth normal?

Paxton enjoyed his first time out in the pool this morning. I will have to get minnows for the next time.
