59: Box Turtles

What this episode covers

We’re back! It’s Episode 59 and after our unplanned hiatus, we are so excited to be back and better than ever with an entertaining and fact-filled episode all about box turtles! We talk about the basics of what makes a box turtle a box turtle, where their from, how they breed, what dangers they face in their native environments, and how to responsibly acquire and care for one as a pet. Please note, this episode is not intended to be a full care guide especially because care varies between different species of box turtles. We’re working on a care sheet for our website, but in the meantime let this episode serve as a way to dip your toes in the water! Also! We can’t believe we didn’t have the full turtle vs. tortoise vs. terrapin discussion. But don’t worry! That will be a topic across our social media channels over the next few weeks.
