Soo any kind of box turtles arent really types that swim too much like slider?

[@belizeguy]

I have had a great year of production with my box turtles . Nice to see your approach, but all those wonderful products are not available here in rural Mexico . Looking forward to seeing your babies .

[@craiginbatonrouge8161]

I don’t even have a turtle, just saw one for sale on FB and thought I would research it....... man I am glad I did. Great vid, thank you....

[@MrHunterd81]

One of my three-toed box turtles beak is getting overgrown. Any advice on what to do?

[@ShelledReptiles]

Franklin the Skateboarding Bulldog I recommend taking it to a vet for a beak trim

[@cra2yturtle329]

[@JFadel]

Great vid! And thanks again for you help on fb!

[@neisyalberts9576]

Hey! I watch your videos and a few other people, and we just got a malayan box turtle and the guy we bought it from he said we should do 6" water and some land but here you have mostly land and a small water bowl, what should we do? She's almost a year old

[@dj-foof]

Is that a real fern?

[@blakeberry9985]

Will the UVB keep the fern alive?

[@urealdaddy88]

Great job.

[@timthielbar795]

Very nice set up

[@eradacles]

Congratulations on your box turtles. Great work with the terrarium set-up. Keep it up!

[@ozzy3684]

[@MrMadrizrealm]

Great video bud!! Thanks for your help and advice on instagram really appreciate it! Make a video when your babies begin to eat. Thanks again!

[@ShelledReptiles]

MrMadrizrealm No problem!

[@budoneof15]

Wow, I guess I need to make some changes to my Baby Box turtle enclosure. I just find they never come out. They stayed under the soil. When do they get the benefits from the UVB?

[@ShelledReptiles]

Evelyn Fabrie That’s a good question, I am not sure.

[@jacyfowler1299]

Omg my baby box turtle litterly just digs and hids

[@bdog4u2]

Technically uvb is not needed the 1st 2 years. Their diet is the most important. Uvb should still be provided as they know when they need it. In the wild they spend the first 2-3 years buried under the forest leaf litter and soil and mostly eat a carnivores diet with the occasional plant sprout. It's Really rare to find wild babies. Most find them when they rake their leaves in the fall.

[@abbeediaz]

Personally for my baby box turtles, I do a semi aquatic set up for them. I do it that way because it'll allow them to have more humidity and be less prone to dehydration. I add sphagnum moss to aid in a more smooth shell development. Also, with those types of soil, baby box turtles are more prone to get acid burns on their plastrons and carapaces. And also I see that you have a Ohio address, just make sure you're legally allowed to have eastern box turtles. Just looking out for ya!!

[@amylongpatton]

Man that was awesome, oh ya buy the way I am getting some pond sliders this week end for an upcoming pond, do you have any tips

[@ShelledReptiles]

Amy Patton Best advice I have is to make sure they are all healthy, if one is sick it can get them all sick
