I had a hatchling eastern box turtle suddenly died last night. She was easting very good devouring mealworms. She was housed in a 20 gal zilla tank. I had a substrate of zoomed eco earth. We were using a UVA/UVB bulb. And an under tank heater.She was very healthy looking and acting. Her shell was hard and no signs of sickness were present. She feed Saturday night and after feeding burrowed down in the substrate on the warm side of the tank. On Sunday I found her dead. She was warm, and her belly was soft and seemed as if it was splitting a little in the center. If anyone has any info on what might have caused this I would appreciate it.
