My owner could no longer keep me. I'm a somewhat shy turtle but very handsome. To adopt me, you must be able to legally own me (many states no longer allow ownership of Eastern box turtles in captivity)!

Please read about box turtle care.

Box turtle requirements: a secure outdoor pen, minimum 6’ x 6’, and hibernation during winter. We do not adopt box turtles to live in small aquaria.

Please visit our habitat requirements for this animal before submitting your application.
