At 5, my Dad and I found my first Box Turtle. 61 years later they are still in my home, only now, I live in the Yucatan of Mexico. Miss the Eastern's and other US varieties. Super video again! Thanks

Speaking of escaping three toed box turtles, the way I got my girl was in San Diego she was running across an extremely busy street in the middle of a large suburb covered in mud. I hope it was an escape situation and not that someone released her. I've had her for 20 years and she is awesome.

I love box turtles and save them from the road all the time.

Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the first upload of this video but here it is for real this time! Thank you so much to everyone who was leaving comments the first time around. I greatly appreciate every single one of you.

Omg I made a pond in my neighbors backyard and we found 5 of them hanging out eating strawberries. Only 1 of them we knew Franklin the rest just popped up out of nowhere.

I was in Virginia and we found a box turtle trying to cross the road. We stopped and moved it to the other side and just watched her go her way

Been a fan of the Ornate Box Turtle for years, but really appreciate the beauty and behaviors of Easterns and Florida Boxies. Great information!

Cutest and the coolest on the planet. Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing Chris

You are so knowledgeable about all species! Thank you for sharing these awesome facts! Box turtles are beautiful! Great video!!!

Beautiful amazing work. Nature at its best. Top Notch awesome stuff of my favorite Turtles. Thanks for sharing Chris.

I saw an Eastern Box Turtle here in Durham while out walking early one morning! He was beautiful with orange polka dots on his legs and a batik looking carapace. He'd fallen off a curb near a wooded elementary school yard. I was afraid of him, but managed to pick him up and place him in the cool, dewy grass figuring he'd do better minus the concrete on what was forecast to be a scorching day. I didn't know he was a member of an endangered species until looking him up on youtube. Thanks for your video!

I love this. Box turtles are my favorite animals.

You are the most knowledgeable person I’ve ever seen. Thank you ~!!

Great video and great music, too!

Great video! I have 6 three toed box turtles (one I've had since 1987) and they're my best friends!

I live in Coahuila and own 6 box turtles native to Coahuila

Your channel inspires me I am starting my own channel under construction, boxturtlecultre. I have 3 three toed box turtles and have been trying to get a juvenile diamondback terrapin since March without having any luck, have any ideas. Keep doing what you're doing it helps.

I love your turtle collection

Just want to say it another time lol :) I love the Floridas, only have seen three in my life here. One time one was bobbing down a river, struggling to swim to shore, on the river we were boating on. The current was too fast for me to grab it and put it back onto land. The surrounding habitat was perfect box turtle habitat, lush, marshy, forest. Still wonder why it went into a river with a current. Hope it managed to return to land safely, and not too far away from its home range.

I have found one with a fully yellow shell but the legs and head had black. There’s also alligator snapping turtle population in TR NJ.

I really enjoyed this!!!

Thanks! Love your channel.

Love 💘 box turtles, a blessing from God

Absolutley fantastic episode. The most comprehensive video I have ever seen on box turtles and a pleasure to watch. I have messaged you in instagram but I appreciate you have a lot of followers so it wont be easy to even realise. I would really like a little bit if advice on building and sorting an out door enclosure for eastern box turtles and spotted turtles in the uk if you have a chance. Thanks again! P.s I'd love videos on care/diet and natural history of all the species you keep but especially spotteds!

So beautiful!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

I grew up in queens ny but when I was a kid I used to love goin to my cousins house in Suffolk county Long Island because we would go in the woods and find box turtles,toads,garter snakes and salamanders sadly where they lived is now developed so I doubt there’s too many left this was in the 80’s

My dog brought me an Eastern box turtle today from the woods. Thank goodness it was okay and quickly went back to the brush after 20 minutes. I guess she brought it to me as a gift lol.

Great fun video

I have 2 rescue eastern box turtles both female and they are lovely companions.

Great informative video. Love your channel❤️🐢🐢🐢🐢

My Otis t shirt came in yesterday. We sadly do not see as many box turtles as twenty years ago.

Thanks again very interesting cool turtles 👍💚🐢

I remember having a box turtle when I was 7

Very educational I actually love them all . Can you show a proper Chinese box turtle hatchling set up this is what I want to get next . Thanks in advance 👀💚🐢🐢🐢

We have a captive bred 3 toed, ornate, and eastern. They are all friends and live together. The eastern (Sparky - F) is the most inquisitive and outgoing, the ornate (Shelly - M) is the most amorous, and the 3 toed (Koopa - F) is by far the most shy but also the most careful and soulful. They are all adorable and very intelligent. Smarter than most people would imagine, I think. They are also beautiful and enjoyable creatures. I really enjoyed your video because it reminded me of our babies

Heyyy im in nj also !!! I just got a box turtle 🐢 about a week and a half ago hes so cool

great job!

Very informative

Fantastic video 😍

Your videos have put me to ease as my eastern box turtle has went underground for winter in her out door pin! I have had her for 12 years now and this is the first! They truly are amazing!!!! Ps I'm in Florida , so I guest this is cake for her 😆

Can i just say thank you i was so confused to why the babies weren't as colorful and i was also not sure of what natural substances to put in there tank and i know to put a nice water place for my turtle and look forward to him getting bigger

Can’t believe you managed to get Rise Mikey for this video

Go Mikey 🧡🐢

Hi can you make more box turtle video? Box turtle are one of my favorite reptile.

A box turtle laid her eggs on the side of a hill here where water flows heavily during rain. I put bricks around the nest so that hopefully they won’t wash away. It hasn’t rained here in over a week so should I pour some water over the nest so they don’t dry out?

so cute

Hello Great channel. Question. Iv always had a found joy for Box and wood titles I have the out door enclosure for them how am I able to own a pair of each?.

Box turtles are native in Colorado where I live I see them on the road all the time

*I'll go ahead and ask the obvious question which was asked on the previous upload: I don't see ornates, do you not have any currently?*

at what rate do 3 toed box turtles generally grow? I have a 2 year old box turtle in seemingly good health she’s very active and her shell is very smooth because I have her outside. She weighs about 90 grams which hasn’t changed much in the last 4 months. I’m wondering if I should feed her more. I feed her twice a week generally either worms or crickets and then the third time she gets fed cantaloupe or strawberry. So 2/3 bugs 1/3 fruit.

I want a turtle now

You are doing a great job caring for my hard shell friends. I have two box turtles and I want to identify them. Can I send you pictures?

Here in WV these are EVERYWHERE.

Chris my female three toed box turtle is mounting my male... I know I’m not confused because I have had them for years and have seen them in the opposite positions.. Is this common or..... what?

I hope someone notices this as I’m not sure where else to find answers, so here it goes: I came across this video going down a box turtle rabbit hole. I had always wanted to find one in the wild, but I’ve had no such luck. It led me to notice something I often see on range maps for box turtles. In the video at the time stamp 12:11 there is an area along the south central edge of Louisiana that seems devoid of box turtles. I have field guides from the 80’s that show there are three box turtles that can be found around that area that overlap one another but shows the same devoid area around Vermilion Bay. Could anyone explain this? Why is it that is the one place where box turtles seemingly refuse to go? It can’t be that it’s too dry, or there would be ornate or three-toed box turtles. It can’t be that it’s too wet or there’d be gulf coast box turtles. So what’s going on?

You guys got any baby eastern box turtles available?

We found a box turtle with red eyes and it's back leg was missing it was an old injury though

I got a problem. I bought 4 captive bred Terrapene. c. carolina babies last year in august. I cannot get them to eat properly, they may only some mealworms sometimes. I tried everything, berries, green leafs, liver, cat food, boiled chicken, shrimps...they don't eat anything. They just run and hide. I covered all sides of the terrarium so they don't get scared. Got the right temperature, lighting, humidity. Can anyone get me some tips?

Love the video; however, these are tortoises, or am I wrong?

Is it fine if your box turtle eats worms or nightcrawlers but doesn’t eat any fruit or vegetables. Is that good for a baby box Turtle

i once found an eastern box turtle in a tree

My box turtle is really different, we can see 3 turtles in one turtle, what type of species they are, and where they live, and how to feed and take care of them?? Please say

I have a female ornate desert box turtle. How do I go about breeding her?

Hey my eastern box turtle isint opening his mouth he hasn't ate in 2 weeks he's alive but do you know what I can do for him

Do u have any box turtles for cell

Can someone please tell me how can I keep a Gulf Coast box turtle inside, and what do I feed him? Am I supposed to put him in water or can I leave him with all the grass, logs etc.,

can i buy one from you？ i like this very much

Please leave these turtles in the wild. If you help them cross the road please let them go in the direction they were headed and not turned around. They need to stay in their habitat. They are beautiful turtles! Thanks :)

Does any1 know a good captive breeding eastern box turtle seller? I'm looking to get my 5 year old turtle a companion to add some stimulation to her environment

This is a super large Fl Box he lives in my lot next to the house. I run to him and another one all the time. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r66gp5mJvsuWYH0.html

Hi, can I please send you a picture of my Box Turtle so you can tell me what kind of box turtle she is?

Breaking New! Florida box turtle somehow kills an alligator!

I rescued eastern box 🐢 in NJ for years. Most were injured and able to be rehabilitated back to health and able to be released. Two never were and have been with me for twenty years. They became to dependent before returning to mostly full health. All these turtles were displaced by man. Next time a housing development, shopping center, or even land is cleared for any project please make sure it is the last resort. These guys are all suffering from loss of habitat and populations are dwindling severely. I think we've done enough damage to the environment and nature.

Here in Missouri, we can't own any animal that is from Missouri. ( I call it Misery )

can i have some of them

This message is brought to you by the Grant Florida Box Turtle Defense League. If you see a Box Turtle don’t pick it up and bring it home cause you think it would make a nice pet. They aren’t pets and are currently in real peril. Reproduction of Box Turtles is very iffy at best. When you take a Turtle out of the wild you are removing a breeding individual from possibly being able to add to the species. Box turtles don’t have huge ranges and may spend their whole lives within 2 square miles. When you move them it puts real stresses on them. Teach your kids not to pick them up. They will get warts (not really but if I thought that this wouldn’t keep them from picking them up because of this lie I will continue to perpetuate it).

My Female Desert Box Turtle Diego has orange eyes...They're gorgeous! I thought she was a male at first and I named her Diego and I don't want to changer her name now that I found out he's a she. There's no female version of the name Diego but I suppose Diego does come from the same base name as the French female name "Jacques." I like Diego better for her plus as an Autistic Person I don't like things changing too much.

Isn't there a western box turtle?

What if you find a box turtle far far far away from any natural water sources??

Do they really spend their life looking for their home if moved outside of it?

How to buy a Box turtle
