"Well, if I did it that way, taking the turtle out every day, it would only be for a year or two. Then I would have my own place and be able to have an outdoor enclosure. It wouldnt be to hard to do."


Only you know how committed you can be. I sure wish you were considering a c.b. one.

Buying from the pet shop a wild one will only strengthen their policy of continiuing to buy wild.


I'd recommend that you read all you can on the care of box turtles; especially the subspecies Eastern Boxies. You will find a great deal of information. Since the one your deciding to get is wild caught.... Expect that it will take longer to get him established and also parasite free. Keep us posted .....

Enjoy him!
