I didn’t realize how slow they grow

I didn’t realize how slow they grow

i got two of them from billy gangemi 10 yrs ago, he told me how slow they grow, i now know what he was saying...... 10yrs and the bigger of those 2 is somewhere around 6".... the cleveland zoo raises blandging's turtles, i've seen some there that appeared to me to be 11-12"...... i've read it can take 15-20 yrs for a female to reproduce in the wild.....

wood turtles grow fast, this is 8yrs this november

i've had all 3, they are 3 of my favorites also....... my weather is a bit much for the chinese box turtles...... i'm told they do fine in southern ohio, i'd think your weather would be good also......

thank you Len, them being native to this area is helpful....... i see raising sulcatas where you are as way more of a challenge.......

Absolutely love the blandings and woods. You do a great job with them! They are 2 of a very very few species I would add to my collection. If every you have some you want to let go....
