Eastern Musk Turtles are small in stature, but BIG in personality and willingness to choose violence... And we honestly love them for that. 😇 Our most common turtle patient, the Eastern Box Turtle, tends to be much more docile due to its ability to "box up" completely and hide from danger. Box turtles still have a severe bite when they need to defend themselves from a persistent predator (or staff member grabbing their foot to give meds), but usually they opt for a passive defense first.

Our Eastern Box Turtles have came out of brumation and they are hungry! So we are making sure that they have lots of good things to eat in their outdoor habitat. This morning they all got some yummy nightcrawlers 🪱 These turtles are omnivorous and will eat almost anything, including berries, insects, roots, flowers, eggs, and amphibians. They reach maturity at 10 to 20 years old and can live to be more than 100 years old! Please let them be if seen unhurt in the wild. If missing eyes, limbs or

For your viewing pleasure: The Full-Body Turtle Sploot (TM) 🐢 Patient BOXTU 2024-0817 has been with us for several months, now, and seems to be quite comfortable! 😜 Can you believe that Box Turtles can fit ALL of that neck inside their shells??? When "boxing up" inside of their shells, their neck tucking in forces air out of the lungs to make more space inside the shell, creating the quick hissing sound they make when frightened. This likely doubles as a defensive behavior! We're not sure whet

🐢😆Have you ever seen box turtles breed? I don’t know why but it’s always a little comical. They almost always breed in water. The males make use of the female not wanting to stay boxed (closed) up while in the water. While on land the female will box up and stay that way for quite some time if she wants to. | Southern Reptiles

Today is World Turtle Day! So, let’s celebrate by talking about turtles! 🐢 Now is when we’re seeing a lot of box turtles out and about as it’s warmer and they begin mating. Because box turtles are terrestrial turtles, meaning they don’t swim, they are often in our backyards and neighborhoods. This doesn’t mean it’s lost and or that it means it needs to be relocated. Turtles have a natural homing instinct, so they know the area they are in very well! That is why if you ever see one on the road,

Botanical Plant-Based Fare on Instagram: "Why are box turtles so cool? READ THIS While most turtle species are aquatic, Virginia is home to the primarily terrestrial, or land-dwelling, Woodland (aka Eastern) box turtle. Although they spend time in shallow waters to cool off and soak their shells, they are not strong swimmers. Woodland box turtles are found in many environments, including forests, pastures, shrublands, and residential lawns, with most preferring ecotones -where two habitat types
