TURTLES

Family Emydidae

Terrapene carolina

The typical box turtles. We breed a limited number of this beautiful and intelligent turtle.
They need a large terrarium, and they do great in an open area as they enjoy
the morning and late afternoon sun.

The male's hind legs are trapped by the female's mobile plastron
as they mate.

 

 

 

 

 

Babies are very energetic from
the start

If you have any questions pertaining husbandry or breeding of the above species, I will be happy to help.
