Box Turtles

This tortoise species is native to the Eastern United States, ranging from southern Maine to Florida along the East Coast and west to Michigan, Illinois, eastern Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, and can live over 100 years old. They indiscriminately eat snails, insects, berries, fungi, slugs, worms, roots, flowers, fish, frogs, salamanders, snakes, birds, and eggs. Their preference varies greatly by season, but there is one definite trend: the young are primarily carnivorous while they grow during their first five to six years. Adults are mostly herbivorous, but they eat no green leaves. Here, we feed ours lettuce and earthworms. In the northern regions, box turtles hibernate in October or November, but farther south, they remain active later in the year.
