Description

Box turtles can make cute and engaging pets. These terrestrial turtles have a long life span and have specialized care needs, so they require careful thought and willingness to commit to a pet long term. They require an appropriately sized tank and UVB light/heat in order to thrive. Most box turtles tolerate handling, but need little hands on attention and are ideal for homes that prefer a more independent pet. They are also a great option for homes with allergies to pet dander.
