I thought you'd like to see some pictures of my new box turtle. I'm sure you'll agree, he's a handsome fellow!

What a perfect looking turtle.

Very nice looking animal. Is that captive raised? It has that look to it but the form is perfect.

I was told he is a 8 year old CB.

It does look captive raised but I would love to know a little history.

How was it raised? Why was it dumped after being so carefully raised for so long? (if you don't mind) How much did you pay for it? (that might answer the previous questions).

Anyone else that's got a captive born and raised boxie that looks like that please chime in.

I paid $150 for him and there was also a LTC WC female included. The ad was here on Kingsnake. I think he was just cutting down on what animals he has. He told me he has other easterns he was keeping but breeding Florida box turtles was becoming his speciality.

Regardless of the source it is a very nice looking animal.
