Guide to Box Turtle Care, North American Box Turtles
Acquired 8-10 years ago, healthy, not adapt to handling, very attentive, I believe 'she' was approximately size of fifty-cent piece, now grown to 5-8 inches in diameter. (The plastic paint tray is sloped and so provides a grade that even the smaller turtles can use to get out of the water.)

Raleigh Aquatic Turtle Adoption
Please don't automatically disqualify prospective owners who've never cared for turtles before, if that had been the case for us we would not have received Bella and Ella, and RATA would not have been created. Many sliders are easily the size of half a cantaloupe (or larger!) when full grown and for most people it simply takes up too much space in their homes to accommodate multiple, large turtles

DNR - Michigan's Turtles
All turtles breathe with lungs, but many aquatic species such as the softshell turtles can absorb oxygen while submerged, either through their skin or by passing water over membranes in the throat or cloaca (an internal chamber that opens at the base of the tail). When these special habitats are changed or impacted, either through development, chemical contamination, or wetland drainage, the futures of many turtles are placed in jeopardy
What should I do? A: If your turtle may be sick, make sure that the water stays clean, that your turtle is being fed the right food, and that your turtle is warm enough. If after you have fixed their environment and your turtle is still sick and is getting worse, take him to a veterinarian who has experience with turtles

Snapping turtles have witnessed the drift of continents, the birth of islands, the drowning of coastlines, the rise and fall of mountain ranges, the spread of prairies and deserts, the comings and goings of glaciers.They range across southern Canada from Alberta to Nova Scotia, throughout the eastern two-thirds of America from the apron of the Rocky Mountains east to the tidewater Atlantic, and south to the Gulf Coast and the Mexican tributaries of the Rio Grande. The ability to endure exposure to low levels of dissolved oxygen permits snapping turtles to winter in sites that are off-limits to wood turtles, which need much higher levels of dissolved oxygen during dormancy
4 Place a submersible heater into the enclosure that corresponds to the amount of water your enclosure can hold (for example, a 50-gallon tank requires a unit that heats 50 gallons of water). 5 Create a basking area by placing a log, a piece of driftwood or a stone large enough for the turtle to get completely out of the water and stretch out on

21, 2010 Written by Tom Johnson One old timer so much enjoyed eating turtles that his friends would often give him the snapping turtles they caught while fishing. Snapping turtles will eat just about anything (alive or dead) they can find in their watery habitat including fish, frogs, drowned animals, crayfish and aquatic plants
For snapping turtles, laying lots of eggs helps ensure that some of those eggs will hatch and maybe a few of those turtles will manage to survive to adulthood.The female snapping turtle, like her other turtle kin, does not guard the nest or the young. Cool temperatures produce mostly male turtles and warm temperatures produce mostly females, and temperatures in between the two extremes produce about half males and half females

Snapping turtles are only capable of taking slow non-game fish (small trash fish) and are absolutely no hazard to game and sport fish (1,13, 23, 34, 35, 36) They also eat carrion, frogs and other amphibians, invertebrates (mollusks and crustaceans), occasionally water fowl, and very rarely other birds and small mammals. (38) At the site of the long-term study of snapping turtles in Algonquin Park, Ontario, the whole population of snapping turtles was effectively exterminated during a single winter, when otters ate the viscera out of the hibernating and defenseless turtles
