I have 4 of them. Between 4-5 inches 1male and 3 females.
I have them inside for now. In a area about 4x4ft and a container about 10 in by 6in and 5in deep for their water. 3 of them love the water and live in it. They will go outside when spring comes. I have them inside so I can find out their quirks, to see who is eating what they are eating and to get them use to people. Wondering about the things the care sheets don't tell you. How big do they get when they are ready for breeding? I have them in cypress mulch and pine bark mixed. As it is on the floor, I didn't want to add dirt. Carpet is underneath it to keep it off the floor.
How often do you feed them? What is the best habitate for them?
I also just received a malaysian box turtle. Same thing with her.
She is in a 50 gal tote. She was more of a rescue to get her out of a pet store that had her in a 10 gal. aquariam with a small water dish and garbage for food. What is the best food for her? She is eating crickets, turtle food, snails, and I feed her bananas when I want to give calcium and vit d3. About once a day. All of them are WC. Figured I would get this forum going without a poll.
Don't have a tortoise yet.
