Box turtle

The only way to really be sure of a box turtle's age is to be present at the hatching. Determining age by the hexagonal lines on the plates of the shell (scutes) is not reliable.

they box other turtles to see who gets to keep the baby turtle.

the eastern box turtle lay there eggs between the months of june-sept. once the eggs are layed the baby box turtles will begin to hatch within a period of 70-140 days.

Probably about 3-4 months from late December to about early March. And keep it about 60-65 degrees at first then 50-55 in the middle and fade back into 60-50 degrees at the end of hibernation. I hope I was helpful! :)

I have noticed that my box turtle will sometimes sleep with her head hanging out of her shell. She only completely retreats into her carapece when she is burrowed into the substrate or when she is in her hollowed-log hut. She typically sleeps when the sun goes down (or lights-out), but will quickly spring back to attention when there is activity in the room. She rises early (with the sun).

First answer: No.

Second answer: Not exactly, but rabbits of both sexes sometimes mount each other in a show of dominance. Mounting is not always sexual behaviour. If the dominance behaviour turns aggressive, separate the rabbits immediately. Don't let rabbits fight. You can only keep rabbits together if they're bonded. See the related questions below for details and links.

Box turtles can eat deadly amanita toadstools with no ill effect. They concentrate the toxins in their body and become toxic, themselves. A moldy strawberry won't even give it indigestion.

yes

Box turtles are endangered and illegal to have in many states. They are difficult for the average person to care for and are better left in the wild. If you came across one from a petstore then you need atleast a 55 gallon WIDE (not tall) tank. They need soil, a hiding place and a water area they can easily get into and out of to bathe.

they eats small fishs .. nd also turtle food ! but Indian roofed turtle doesnot ... can u say me y .. wat do they eat ?

The Three-toed Box Turtle is not listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature, (IUCN) Red List or the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Endangered Species List. They seem to be popular pets, even though their needs are rather specific to size, and conditions of their enclosures to be happy, and healthy in captivity. It appears that a few individual states may have some protection for this species, focused on preventing the removal, and sale of "wild caught species" from the state. I couldn't find any clear regulations, or guidelines from an approved agency or organization. For more details, please see sites listed below.

I have heard that it they have two bends on the belly of their shell it is a female and only one for a male. But whenever I heard that I would look at all the boxer turtles a saw and found that they all had one bend. Actually, I think that is true because I have both a male and female box turtle and the female has two bends and male has one. Anyway, also, the female will have way shorter claws then the male. There are alot more info on the internet buddy but i think the female is bigger????????

Answer: Yes. The turtle, however, must have land to climb up on so as not to tire out, fresh fruits, vegetables, worms and crickets to eat on that land, and it must be handled so as not to make it antisocial.(Note: the turtle needs enough of a platform to get totally out of the water and crawl around. Not enough land may result in stress for your turtle.)

They can mate once and lay fertile eggs up to four years from that one mating. This helps to compensate for their inability to attract a mate. Females can lay up to three clutches of from two to ten eggs, depending on the species. Eastern box turtles will typically lay one clutch of of 2 to 6 eggs (younger females will lay fewer, older females more). The eggs typically incubate for 75 to 85 days at 75% to 85% humidity. Box turtles exhibit TSD (Temperature-dependent Sexual Determination). Eggs incubated at 71 ° F (22 ° C) produce males. Eggs incubated at 79 ° F (26 ° C) produce a mixed ratio of males and females and eggs incubated at 88 ° F (31 ° C) produce females.

Sea turtles hatch from eggs.

The female comes ashore, digs a hole in the sand and lays her eggs there. She then covers them back up and returns to the sea. When the eggs hatch, they dig themselves out of the sand and head for the water.

Yes, box turtles do eat crickets. I used to have one and we bought it crickets in the summer.

Turtles do live in rainforests

Because its easier than building a nest in a tree. Same principle.

Depends how its "broken." If it really is cracked or broken the turtle most likely will die or will be paralyzed. If the portion broken is only on the side and doesn't get to close to the center then most likely it will survive. It all depends on if the broken part touches the spinal cord/or reveals internal organs.

Tortoises, like all animals, are heterotrophs. That means they get their energy from food. Different types of tortoise have different diets, but because they are slow and live on land, they tend to have primarily harbivorous diets.

Yes but you have to make sure he doesn't pee on you.

Yes! We had a box turtle and he was the friendliest thing! Agree with the above though! Be careful!
