Thank You for supporting! See you in the next video! Find the music I used at: www.hooksounds... Ending music= “Fires on the Horizon” from the Cinematic section.
Nice setup! You are correct that people will say they will drown. I have accidentally killed some in the past due to drowning in my pond within their enclosure. I discovered some box turtles sink and some float! After killing two of mine by drowning, I went and checked to find the ones that float. I only left the "floater" in the enclosure. The following week another one drowned! Turns out they can float sometimes and sink on other days. Be careful! Must have multi underwater ramps to the surface.
Turtles float occasionally, depending on how much air they have trapped, but most will sink like a stone and have trouble swimming back to the surface. Trust me, you want a shallow pool, around 3" - 4" deep, if you're going to be keeping box and wood turtles in the enclosure.
Allahja Flowers if they flip they'll drown too. It happened to mine after being outdoors for a year. It swam great. Got in and out no problem. One day he was getting eaten by his pond mates. It's a risk. Hawks, raccoons, cats... It's a risk. Just is.
Yeah love it hope turbo gets better tiki looks like my box turtle speedy I think any way loved the introduction of the turtles and good job showing box turtles can swim a lot of people don’t know that😁
My 3 box turtles swam too. If they flip in the water they'll drown. Starchild drowned. He was outdoor for a year. Just sayin I used to tell people that they swam just fine. The two other box turtles are awol in the backyard. Good luck dude.
Curious on your thoughts. Do you feed your box turtles wild mushrooms? Reason I ask is because if I haven’t watched a wild box turtle munching on wild strawberries I’ve seen them shrooming. Just curious as I’m considering purchasing a CB box this spring/summer. Also are their any breeders you’d recommend for box turtles?
I found a red ear slider this morning in my yard that is blind in one eye and seems physically weak any recommendations? Should I keep him and look after him temporarily or release him?
The Reptile room Personally, I would release him. If it’s a female it’s probably out laying eggs. After digging nests they can be a little weak for a few days. A turtle can live just fine with only one eye. I have found many healthy turtles that’s a blind in an eye.
Poor box turtles. They're species is stressed enough In the wild without being collected and forced into a pen. I used to do the same thing with box turtles when I was younger, I had a similar pen and they hibernated outdoors. As you grow older I hope you realize, as I eventually did, box turtles should be kept in the wild as their species can't handle this additional strain. Their populations are threatened in most states. Common turtles such as Painteds, cage em up all you want.
if you even read this i have called every reptile store and breader i know and none had female eastern box turtles so if you see this and consider please reply.
Dude you are awesome. It’s so clear how much you love and care for these animals. You are also super knowledgeable I love watching these videos.

Can't stop watching this all day
Thanks 🙏 to CZcams for recommending this..
I'd replace that pond with something that's much shallower if I were you. No point in risking a turtle drowning.

hi in Trinidad and Tobago... we would call the last turtle a gallop
Hey I'm trini too and I have a gallop
Excellent job on this enclosure! Instantly, they all looked right at home. I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you
That one box turtle seemed to have a hard time getting out of the pond, maybe set up the rocks a bit differently?
Name her Lefty of course.
Mine is called , Fluffy
"Lefty" sounds perfect!!!
tripod for the last one missing a foot
1:53 I had a boxie named Cleopatra who looked just like her!!

Fantastic 4
Great setup! Maybe add some more ferns or bushes for them to hide in and around.
Will Siegert they can climb bushes. Ive found mine in two foot tall flower pots. They climb the succulents. :)
you should have a reever turtle in this pond
i would put a slightly larger tortoise in that enclosure to better use the huge land portion
I'd think it'd be awesome to have one big pond that's got all differant breeds of turtles by 2 people would pay to see a turtle zoo
I really want to get a pair of eastern box turtles, and was wondering were you got yours
Connor Heller
I got a pair from Kingsnake.com

Actually eastern box turtles are a threatened species and illegal to take from the wild in many states.
Name the female with no foot tripod

You should name the female box turtle Bethany! After the surfer chick that lost her arm to tiger shark....?
