My Ornate Box Turtle
|
My Brother found Critter in our neighbors backyard while he was checking on his Red Eared Sliders, Pokey and Godzilla.
Critter is an Ornate Box Turtle. She would be pretty if she didn't get beaten up by a dog or a male turtle, or at least that's what my brother said.
She loves to eat Cantelope. She is only about 4 inches long, and so she is a midget compared to Godzilla's monstrous 1 foot!
I keep her in a 20 gallon tank. I put sand for the land, bricks for a hiding place, and she crawls on top of the bricks to bask next to the basking lamp. She also has a water bowl that she likes to drink from, and occasionally leave an unpleasant surprise!
Critter will crawl over her food if you don't hand feed her. I would like to find a food that she would just eat and eat and eat..........
