Hi All -

I have two log term captive male box turtles that were rescues from a construction site. They have always been good with each other but starting last year they have started attacking each other very aggressively to the point they damaged each others carapace near their heads.

Im sure this is a breeding response but Im always amazed at videos of people keeping large colonies of box turtles outside and with no apparent issues. Who here has had success and who has seen the issues I'm seeing?

These turtles now aggressively attack each other within seconds of being introduced. It's crazy.

Thanks
