I have a captive born Gulfie . 🐢💚 . I’ve had her for 23 years and I have a similar set up but your video gave me some better ideas . Thank you for this 😊💗
How is this channel not mainstream yet? I mean jeez the amount of information you give out while still making interesting content is super impressive. Between that and your obvious passion for these animals, this is an incredible channel.
I live in Texas near the gulf coast. I have two young gulf coast box turtles. They are rescues that were brought in to my husband's vet clinic. . Your have been such a great help in making sure that I give them the best care I can.
Very cool! I have a diamond back terrapin in a 200 gallon tank in Southern Minnesota. He's spoiled compared to most, but your turtles live in Paradise!!
Just found a baby turtle 🐢 under branches from a tree that fell on our yard. It's about the size of a grapefruit. Adorable. So, we're fensed in. We're confused about how it made its way in. Lol....I might take it to our local city lake. I see turtles there.
They have to feel safe! So true. It is their first requirement for my box turtle babies also.Food and warmth makes sense to them naturally after safety.
I have 3 cb eastern box turtle I'm raising out but definitely want some gulf coast after seeing this video. I want various box turtle 👀💚🐢🐢🐢 Thanks for sharing 🤗
I have what I think is a gulf coast box turtle I could send a pic bc I'm really needing to know to set it up as a eastern or gulf coast bc I need help knowing which one it is. So it can be healthy you can pm? If needed.
Where im from we only have about 10 spies of turtles like the slider box Turtle wood turtle hicatee snapping turtle lager head and one we calk mountain climbers
Greg, I have a couple three-toed box turtles and was wondering if you know of any kinds of plants that I could put in their enclosure that they would like to feed on?
I planted strawberries and cherry tomatoes in my enclosure. They love it. The strawberries get eaten before they even turn red. The tomatoes ripen on the plant then fall and are eaten immediately when they hit the ground.
Technically they would be integrades since it’s subspecies overlapping in ranges. Gulf coast box turtles are recognized currently as a subspecies, Terrepene Carolina Major. I believe since Putnami is extinct, the resulting turtles are considered to be their own subspecies, with differing appearance and genetics depending on range
My daughter found a Gulf Coast Box Turtle, so in a sense we rescued it... Have any tips for keeping it indoors... Or is it best to let it go back into the wild?
Release it back where found. Taking turtles from the wild is not a “rescue”, and in most states box turtles are protected and taking wild ones is illegal. Just enjoy them as they are 👍🏼❤️
@@GregsTurtleHaven wheres the best place to let them go? We are in the middle of a big city... It will end up dying if I let it out in the back yard (she found it in our back yard)
Great video! I was curious and maybe you know, but how come I cannot find an eastern box turtle for sale? Every place I’ve checked has been out of stock since at least April or May. Thanks! Keep up the awesome videos!
@@GregsTurtleHaven any suggestions on keeping one I have a female African Sideneck about 5 years old in a 40 gal tank however I wonder if its adequate. I've had her for almost a year.
