We love seeing our shy turtle patients eatin' good. 💪🐢🌿 This Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina, a state-threatened species) patient came to us very ill, suffering from a viral respiratory illness. These illnesses often cause clogged sinuses, swollen-shut eyes, and general lethargy and discomfort. When humans get sick, it's good practice to stay hydrated and eat well to help our bodies fight off that illness. The same typically applies to wildlife, too. However, since turtles onl

Shell Yeah! Meet Florida’s Eastern Box Turtle. While box turtles can be found throughout Florida, the eastern box turtle only occurs in the Panhandle region. These turtles may be active in Florida year-round – including warm winter days. These little turtles are known for their ability to close up their shells tightly when threatened, giving them excellent protection from predators.

Meet the eastern box turtle! 🐢 They can be identified by their domed shell that has blotches of yellow, orange, brown, and black. 🐢 They are terrestrial, meaning they live predominantly on land. 🐢 They are called “box turtles” because they can completely close their lower shells and box themselves in. 🐢 Males have red eyes while females have brown or dark red eyes. 🐢 We think they are stunning, gorgeous, beautiful, and amazing.

🐢✨ This is an Eastern Box Turtle! 🐢 They get their name because when they’re scared, they can close their shell like a box—not just hide in it. Plus, their shells are beautifully camouflaged to blend in with leaf litter! 🍂This one has red eyes, which suggests it’s a male. A better way to check is by looking at the plastron—if it’s concave, it’s a male, and if it’s flat, it’s a female. 🐢 Females have flat shells to make room for eggs, while males are concave to help with mating. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑Inste

🐢 Faces of the Eastern Box Turtle 🐢 DID YOU KNOW? One of the most imperiled species we work with EVERY DAY at our wildlife center was once VERY common across the Eastern US. It wasn't until recent years that we've begun to realize that their numbers are in steep decline. The Eastern or Woodland Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) is an iconic species in the woodlands of our region. They are mild-mannered, highly variable, and beautiful reptiles who have suffered greatly due to human activ

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

However, their populations are fragmented and declining due to poaching and road fatalities. Since their numbers are slow to recover, they are a species who are truly i

#TwinTurtle update! Enjoy a nice bed of worm-and-raspberry salad with our famous Eastern Box Turtle patients! 🐢💚🐢 The Eastern Box Turtle twins who hatched out at our wildlife center this September are doing very well! As omnivores, Box Turtles will eagerly hunt down wiggling, crawling, or colorful prey. These tiny turts are no exception, and they are successfully chasing down isopods, earthworms, red wigglers, small Dubia roaches, and any other mini-sized creepy-crawlies they can get their be

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.
