Can someone please show me what box turtle feces looks like? I have yet to see it. I guess it's becaue it blends in with the dirt so well.

Here's my Cherry Head's poop. I can't find any of the boxies so far.

My boxies turds are not as green as that red foot, probably diet differnce, but rather look like brownish,to grayish black mud about an inch to inch and a half long by 1/4-1/2" wide, and often times turn up in the water dish or in or near the food dish. They often poop just after they start eating in the morning or just after they finish eating, and often they poop right when they get in the water too, either before or after taking a drink.

It reminds me of tight wad of dip. And trust me, if your boxies are anything like mine, you'll know when you find one. Man, do they stink!
