baby box turtles cb 05 & 06 and soon 07
i have a few captive bread 3 toed and ornate box turtles in perfect health and becoming active as they are slowly coming out of hibernation. all of a sudden i have several babies running around the yard. these are not inbred. these are quarter to half dollar in size. i do not or did not remove these or any other turtle from the wild. i have either bought them or nursed them back from injuries. the re-habilited ones when permitted have been returned to the wild. for the last 3 years i have released 15 captive breed hatchlings as soon as the are eating and show no signs of ill health. i have a female with missing front feet so i assumed that she would not be able to survive and just die. she is in perfect condition and laying eggs which i did not expect. some are 2005 and some are 2006. 2007 will be hatching later in the year. they are currently inside and well cared for. i have years of experience in keeping turtles and other pets. i prefer pick up only if possible. the weather must warm up for suitable shipping. i am in the kc. mo. area. email [email protected]
