    Aww, they are so adorable! It makes me so happy. They're about how big the baby box turtle was that I saved out of the road. She had been attacked by a groundhog and lost half of one of her front legs and a big chunk of her plastron was missing and the side of her shell was chipped. She's doing great now though! She fully recovered and is now very healthy.

    My daughter and I found a turtle while out on a walk, watching these videos really helped us to take care of it until we found the owner a week later, we learned a lot, and really enjoyed our time with our new little friend ❤

    I watched some peck their way out, it was a glorious moment. Took about 10 days for the shell to come off. Never take the shell off! It feeds the baby! They r so adorable. I put my adults in my greenhouse over winter and I hope they lay their eggs in there so the babies will be safe. 🙏❤️

    Unfortunately this confirmed my suspicions. I work as a Seasonal Ranger at a state park in Tennessee. At the end of one of my guided hikes, I found a dead Eastern Box Turtle, shell intact and all. Heard rattling in the shell, which I assumed was just the bones. Went back to pick it up because we could use the shell for interpretation and programming. Some oval shaped objects fell out, and I didn’t know what they were. After watching this video, I now know that that turtle had eggs when she died. Very unfortunate and sad, but that’s the way of nature.

    I let nature take its course in my outdoor pen. The eggs hatch and the babies emerge nice and healthy. I bring them in for their safety because I have adult males in the pen. I just wish I had more females. I’m hoping that at least 2 of my 4 babies are female, but; I won’t know for years to come.

    Thank you for your informative videos. I just watched a native red slider laying eggs in my backyard. I sprinkled ground red pepper over the nest to try to protect the eggs from skunks and raccoons. This late in the year, mid-August, I wonder if the young will emerge, or wait until next Spring? Salutes!

    So I have box turtles naturally in our area. We used to have an outdoor pen for one we rescued until it's shell healed back when I was little. And now we spotted a momma box turtle laying eggs but in a high traffic area of the yard that also tends to hold standing water when it rains 😨 its been about 24 hours since they were laid and I'm really debating on just making a bin for them

      They don’t really have a set breeding season, especially if they are indoors. That being said, the female can lay at any time. It’s possible she won’t lay at all.

      You can keep them in a plastic shoe box…keep warm..mist it slightly…I’ve never used anything fancy and mine hatch. Just don’t turn them keep them just like she laid them. Put a dot on the top if that helps.

  • @txbluebonnet
    @txbluebonnet 4 года назад

    I've watched several of your videos tonight. They all have the super-light volume on them until you come closer to the mic. I think you should amp up the sound or wear a blue tooth mic. I have to strain to hear with all the volume markers at 100%. ;) Excellent knowledge points though. I'm considering getting a turtle -- my first one. I love seeing the variety of them. The soft shells are way cool. I don't think I've ever come across a soft-shelled.
    What would you recommend for getting as my first small turtle? We're in an apartment now but plan to be in a house within a year. :)

    • @armoredreptiles
      @armoredreptiles 4 года назад +1

      Definitely take into consideration their full size before purchasing one and make sure you are willing to accommodate accordingly. Most turtles do better in an outdoor area with a pond and UVB exposure from the sun so look into UBV strip lights and a decent sized tub (like a waterland tub or 100+ gallon Rubbermaid) while it is little and housed indoors. If you do your research and find a species that you like and are sure you can care for in the long run (some turtles can live 50+ years) you will not regret the experience of taking care of these wonderful creatures! Welcome to the hobby!

    @daveman5860 2 года назад +1

    Like birds I believe turtles eat by the color. You can start them off with little bits of chopped Apple, of which they love, and it's easy for them to bite hold, and swallow. BTW. I was pulling weeds today and found a little box turtle that seem to be about a year old. I gave him some chopped apples! That's when I looked up newborn box turtles,, which brought me here. 👍))

  • @mitchellcaver8261
    @mitchellcaver8261 3 года назад +1

    Please don’t relocate Box turtles. They have a homing instinct and they will try to get back to the area they came from. If you move it far from it's home you will cause it to likely get killed trying to get back to it's home, so leave it in the area found, do not bring it to a nicer area.
