This is my SPOILED box turtle, Soup. He loves taking baths; and when he's through, he sticks out each foot one at a time for me to dry (like I said, spoiled!) He loves rosey red minnows, but only if they are already dead. Lives ones scare him! He really is a little sweetie. I found him on the side of a busy highway, far from any parks or ponds. (For turtle safety and adoption info, Check out TheBaskingSpot.com)


He adapted quickly, but does not like overly confined spaces. He started off living in a 4'x2'x3' clear rubbermaid bin, which was more than large enough for him to have a swimming and basking area, but he didn't seem happy in it. Now he roams the house freely. I have installed a swimming area into my bathroom, with heated rocks,caves and plants for him to play around and LOTS of marbles for him to play with.

When it gets warmer outside, I will fix up the backyard for him to play in during the day, and bring him back in at night.

I would love any advice or tips anyone can offer!
