Eastern box turtle, keep humidity high, and keep a diet of fruit veggies and lots of insects.

Number one mature people don’t feel the need to curse. Second, all I said was it didn’t look healthy, take that as constructive criticism not hatred. It was nothing against you, I simply stated he didn’t look healthy.

Cinderella you should of just told her what to work on and not say it does not look healthy, that is what constructive critisism is. This is not constructive critisism "Doesnt look terribly healthy." for all you know its a old picture, i have rescued many box turtles, and seen pretty bad stuff. Second for me would have to be damn is not a bad word. Its just damn. Also what i see which is acctually ironic is by her saying "damn your mean" it can be constructed criticism, works both way there.

Well besides all that, it really does not look to unhealthy, in the picture it looks small, but thats because it could be young, most baby boxies or sub adults look skinny, when really they eat to much. Like i said, keep the humidity up, keep a UVB light on, and insects, veggies and fruit.

First off, I wasn’t mean in anyway, if my turtles looking unhealthy to someone I would want them to tell they look unhealthy. Second if he’s had it more than 2 weeks and still doesn’t know what kind of turtle it is, then "the picture is old" excuse doesn’t apply. From what I saw in the picture and the number of boxies I’ve had in my care, its shell didn’t look all that great and it looked on the thin side.

I don’t know why I waste my time with know it all’s like you.

you need to take a chill pill and don’t fight so much. and don’t say things that might hurt people’s feelings. how would you lke it if you showed us a turtle and we said, "it’s not healthy. you should do something!!!!!!"? think about it.

The shell looks like it’s starting to pyramid. If that’s the case, there is something lacking in the diet. You should definitely get established with a reptile vet, who can tell you what if any problems the turtle has. As for food, they need lots of variety, and I have found that my boxies LOVE garden snails, and they’re free! Just don’t feed them to the turtle if there is any chance that somebody has put out snail poison.

Wow Poor Cindergirl, she was just saying it didn’t look to good. I mean if he didn’t know the kind of turtle he might not have known how to tell if it was sick. (dont bag on me if he does cus im not saying he doesnt) besides it is a real animal lover who states conserns, she was just making sure all was well.

I AGREE IT IS A EASTERN BOX TURTLE. I HAVE 2. I DON’T THINK YOURS LOOKS UNHEALTHY. I LOVE MY TURTLES. I HAVE RESCUED SEVERAL. I USED TO WORK FOR A VET. WE SAVED MANY THAT HAD BEEN HIT OR SHOT BY B.B. GUNS. THEY ARE WONDERFUL TO HAVE. LOTS OF FRUITS AND VEGGIES. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THEY HAVE WATER. GOOD LUCK
