Box turtles are common residents of the woods in the southeastern U.S. Box Turtles are omnivorous and eat slugs, snails, earthworms, wild strawberries and blackberries, mushrooms, insects, and carrion (dead animals, such as ducks or frogs). Their trademark is a hinge on the front part of the plastron allowing the turtle to close up very tightly. This feature provides great protection from raccoons, foxes and other predators. Box turtles are extremely long-lived and some individuals may live for 50 years or more!

All 4 came very healthy and were a very nice size. They are already eating fish like now tomorrow. I put my email for them in almost 3 years ago for them and can't be more satisfied with the results!!!
