[Buggy]

I have a western ornate female. She's been with us for 4 yrs and the best I can tell she is about 5 yrs old. She lives in a very large rubber storage container. She gets fresh dirt and grass clippings to burrow under, Large flat rock to climb on, Wide shallow dish of fresh water for drinking and bathing. She eats cantalope, tomatoes, tuna, kippered herring, water mellon, canned cat food but she refuses any other vegetables and commercial box turtle food. We take her out to run around and get exercise in the warm months. And like all of my pets she is spoiled rotten.
In some places it's illigal to take box turtles out of the wild and keep them as pets but she was a rescue (from the middle of the highway) and we don't have any laws in my state against keeping this species so my daughter kept her. Daughter grew up and moved out...guess who got the turtle?

Here is a link with some info on them. Mine looks exactly like the picture. http://artemis.austincollege.edu/aca...be/tornata.htm
