Anyone know how big a box turtle needs to be to be able to breed? I have 1.3 three toeds and the male (6") mated with a female that is about 4-5"..My other females are both about 5" as well..

They are big enough. Also, remember they can retain sperm for a few years.

Hi Matt a lot of breeders I know don't even hibernate. They have had success all year round. It is a personal decision. Hey did you get my email? TB

Air Canada would get it there. I wonder what they would charge? It costs $65 for my to fly in anything from BC and Alberta. I am curious as to how much it would cost.

Air Canada from BC to TO is $110 there abouts. Way cheaper with West Jet $70
If you can find someone Matt that is having other stuff shipped to your area, maybe a group package can be arranged.
