Ornate Box Turtle

The ornate box turtle for sale is a good-sized, heavy-bodied box turtle with an oval head and a hinged jaw. Their shells are hinged at both the upper and lower jaw, and the edges of their carapace overlap completely. The brown coloration helps them to blend in with the forest floor for concealment. As such, they must rely on hearing, smell, touch and sight to detect danger as opposed to any real pattern of movement.

This ornate box turtle for sale is a great pet for the right person. They are very active turtles, so you will have to keep their habitat clean (at least once or twice per week) and provide them with plenty of water in which to swim. Climbing places and a basking area with UVB lights are also necessary. These turtles enjoy to bask under basking lamps and over time they will get used to your presence. You need to handle them regularly at least once or twice per month.
