Box Turtles - how many together? | Tortoise Forum
4 Feb 2025 at 12:37am
Keeping more than one tortoise can work just fine. The problem is keeping them in PAIRS. When there are just two of them, its a problem. This would also apply to box turtles. Groups of juveniles and babies are usually fine. As adults, you can keep groups in a large, well planted enclosure with one male and 3-4 females.

Hi everyone, I?ve got two Three-Toed Box Turtles, and we recently moved to the Daytona area in Florida this past summer. Before this, they lived outside in Hawaii and were indoors when we lived in the Midwest. They usually slow down during the winter months, but they?ve never fully...
Snapping turtles? | Tortoise Forum

The dark colored ones (6) are Snapping Turtles. The green ones are sliders of some type. I can't see them well enough to ID the species, but they could very well be the very common Red-eared Slider or maybe Yellow-bellied Slider or a mix of several similar Slider species.
What turtle species can coexist with common musk turtles?
13 Feb 2025 at 4:04pm
Mud and Musk turtles can be pretty nasty to each other, and to other turtles. A map turtle might work, but as mentioned above, musks and muds can be tail biters. If you are keeping two or more musk turtles together or if you decide to add in a map turtle or something similar, I would recommend a very large enclosure.

Oh for Pete's sake! These few posts were split off from Terry's turtle thread because they were going off topic asking about nitrites and Terry doesn't like off topic in his threads. This thread is now about "Does high nitrite content in water affect turtles? " We're no longer talking about specifically DBT, but water turtles in general ...

When I was younger the family dog used to get fleas from time to time and infest the house, when this happened my mother used to put large saucers of soapy water on the floor in each room and hang a light directly above it fairly close to the floor, the fleas jump up at the light and land in the water, the soap prevents them from swimming and they drown.

While turtles and tortoises do not need to breathe very often, they do still require oxygen. We had found Popeye unresponsive last month after an apparent tortoise brawl. After doing CPR for 20 minutes, he came back to life. However, he is still fighting to regain strength. What to do IF and how...

So, the Carolina box turtle (Terrapene carolina) contains several subspecies, and the ornate box turtle (Terrapene ornata) contains two subspecies, but the Carolina and ornate box turtles are in different species altogether. They coexist in parts of the Great Plains, but they do not really hybridize there.

Realistically, many types of tortoises will do well for you outside except the species that require a lot of humidity like Redfoot, elongated, and other SE Asian tortoises.
