    No, he is not native to So. California, so must have been someone's pet. Please don't release him, rather take him to a pet store that deals in reptiles. They should be able to take him in and find a new home for him.

    pls contact me 773-490-4669 I will be willing to even pay for shipping I have a three toed box male turtle that is very lonely and I haven't gotten any good luck on finding any in Illinois.

    I also found a 3 toed box turtle,a female,who has been with us for about 6 years now.We also live in So. Cal.,and no she's not a native.So don't release the one you found, because his chances for survival are slim at best.If you are not going to keep him please contact me,my myrtle is lonely.She likes to eat corn,pears,mangos,and her all time favorite is snails.We rescued her from a waste water outlet,and she had 4 holes that someone had drilled into her side,that took 3 years to heal.She's very shy,and spends a lot of time hiding.

I have recently acquired several Box Turtles. They are all special needs. One has a cracked shell, there have been some repairs done, he is doing well.  then there is stumpy the three legged one, he is the most active of the turtles.  Then there is a little one with the front of the hard shell chewed on.  Then there is the last one some one has drilled a hole in the shell to put him on a chain.  I need to find a substance to mend the shell on the cracked shell and to stop up the hole on the last one any suggestions???

    Turtle shells can often be mended with great success. The California Turtle & Tortoise Club, in their article Shell Repair in Chelonians, describe a technique where you use a fiberglass cloth patch applied with an epoxy resin. Wish your little guys all the best!

    A box turtle especially the 3 toed can mate with a male one time and retain the eggs up to 4 years inside her. She releases them as she sees fit. Aren't you glad humans are not like this?

We just purchased a 3 year old box turtle. I believe she is a 3 toed turtle (Arkansas) The couple I purchased her from did not know the species. She is trying to hibernate and keeps trying to hide in and under the dirt. I am learning to care for her via the intranet. She is eating pellets that came with her and occasionally I put fruit or lettuce. Anyone with suggestions please let me know. I was wondering if I use tap water is that dangerous for her health?

    Just scroll up in this Animal World article for the various foods for your fella.  If the tap water is OK for you, should be fine for the turtle.  If it is city water - it is already tested.  If it is well water, you can have it tested if you wish.

    It is important for three toed box turtles to also have worms or crickets. Red worms or grubs work fine. You can even buy worms at most Walmarts in the fishing dept. They also love strawberry's, watermelon & leafy greens. Fruits should be in moderation. They also like a humidity & should be provided a wading pool . Good luck!
