well, I've been hunting down florida box turtles in pet stores and privite collections across Canada for many, many years. I now have my seventh animal.

A big THANK YOU goes out to Mike Ellioff of the Ontario turtle and tortoise society, for calling me when he parted with a few animals, and remembering my passion for this sub-species.

She is 6 years old, he grew her from a hatchling and she should be ready for my males in a couple years or so.....The room she's in is 82 degrees and 70% humidity, and her belly is filled with yummy earthworms, so no wonder she has a big smile on her face LOL enjoy....

Amazing! If I was to get a turtle again that's what I would want.

Very nice one off the few N. American species i don't have yet......mmm now I know why..some one keeps buying them all!
Very nice species and large for a box turtle. My Gulf coast male is a big boy as well. Twice the size of the three toes and Easterns. Hurry up and breed them!!TB
