Male three toed box turtles Turtle Turtle San Marcos, TX

This is a large group of male three toed box turtles that are in Pflugerville. They can to us from east of San Antonio. The owner passed away and his wife could not care for them without him. They were very well cared for.

They belong to a man who bought a few box turtles over the years and enjoyed letting them roam free in the protected environment of the courtyard of their house Unfortunately that meant letting them breed at will. Which means CTTR now has many males, females, juveniles, adults, and hatchlings that need good homes. If you adopt more that one, the fee is only $50 each. You can put up to three same-sex box turtles in one 100-square-foot enclosure. If you adopt hatchlings or juveniles, you will need to promise us you will split them up once sex can be determined.

In order to adopt a box turtle you must allow them to always live outdoors where it can enjoy natural sunlight, dirt deep enough for burrowing in 912 inches or more), lots of plants and other hiding places, clean fresh water, and a chance for hunting and grazing as if it were in the wild. You must provide at least 100 square feet of space, even if they're only adopting one box turtle (but up to three can live in a space that size after careful observation to ensure they get along with one another). This needs to be an enclosure, not your whole yard as they could be in danger of being stepped on or hit by a lawn mower. They must have hides, some shade, sturdy enclosure walls and a water source/dish.
