Box Turtle Pet Owners Guide. The Captive Care of Box Turtles. Including Box Turtles Biology, Behavior and more.

Few turtles are better known in North America than the charming and widespread box turtle. While they are frequently seen walking through forests and crossing neighborhood roads after summer showers, they are also among the most popular pet turtle species in the world.

Unfortunately, many people acquire box turtles without first learning about their needs, which often leads to frustrated keepers and rejected reptiles. As when caring for any animal as a pet, keepers must learn as much as possible about the biology, behavior and ecology of the species, in order to provide them the highest quality of life possible. Inside, you will find the information necessary to get started on your box turtle adventure. Among other things, you will learn about box turtles and the techniques and supplies necessary to create an artificial habitat that will meet their needs. The author, Ben Team, is an environmental educator and author with over 16 years of professional reptile-keeping experience. Ben currently maintains www.

FootstepsInTheForest.com, where he shares information, narration and observations of the natural world. When not writing about plants, animals and habitats, Ben enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife.
