Box turtle

Yes, turtles eat grass. They also eat earthworms, snails, grubs, beetles, caterpillars, carrion, grasses, fallen fruit, berries, mushrooms and flowers. They take bites of anything that smells edible. Mind you, they don't eat a ton of grass, just a little.

It doesn't like you then.

Yes, box turtles are usually safe to handle, they don't usually bite, just hide in their shell. All you have to remember is to wash your hands when you are done.

No! The tank needs to be much much bigger, at least a twenty gallon. By the way, box turtles also require both land and water. I would also suggest not keeping them together, as the turtle may or may not try to eat the beta fish.

Yes. Box turtles will eat almost any kind of greens. They will also eat broccoli, cabbage, green beans, peas and pea pods and cucumbers. It's easier for them to eat these things if shredded or diced very fine.

^ just be sure not to feed them iceberg lettuce. Iceberg has no nutritional values. it is mostly water. so it will fill them up but not nourish them. In a sense, they will starve. Stick with dark leafy greens but easy on spinach as it can make them gassy.

you could make it airtight or put lots of matresses on the walls

1988 thru 1998 look basicly the same.

The water box is what the thermostat sits in with the water housing outlet coving it. If you follow your radiator hose the other end is your water housing outlet.

Earth worms, snails and grubs also sometimes berries

Box turtles live on land not in water

only way you could buy them in louisiana is if you personally knew or found a person who has them and breeds them or buy one online but it would have to a species not native to LA because they are protected (why you can't find them in pet stores)

on level ground box turtles can walk at up to around one sixth of a mile per hour, which is about 14.5ft per min. but a box turtle will rarely walk for long distances without stopping so its hard to measure how much they can actually travel in an hour. in the wild, a box turtle will spend most of its time sleeping or sunning. any other time would be spent foraging for food and wouldn't be likely to walk more then a hundred yards in a day (roughly 12ft per hour).

they can do short distance sprints of up to one quarter of a mile per hour, which is 22ft per min. but only only for a few feet.

Box turtles lay 2-6, sometimes 8 eggs at one time. They bury them and a few weeks later they hatch and dig to the surface.

To estimate count the number of boxes on its back.

Given suitable caging and diet, a life span of 15 or more years may be reasonably expected with yellow-margined box turtles (also known as chinese box turtle).
