Help me find a Boxy

[gfisher2002]

Ok, Wu-gwei your pics of your boxies have done it. I can tolerate the mental abuse no more. I'm putting my foot down and ending this torture.

I want a box turtle! I looked around and did alot of reading. I want an eastern Box with red shell and legs, like yours is. I've seen yellow and brown ones but I like the bright red ones that look like a redfoot. Does anyone on here have a red Eastern they would part with or know of someone who breeds/keeps them near sask/alb? I'm officially looking now.

Also, I read about hibernating box turtles. Now I took the Redfoot in because I loved him and I knew redfoot enjoyed humid tropical conditions and didn't have to be hibernated. My Russian has had a sickness before hibernation last and this year, so no long sleep for her. I'm VERY scetched out about this whole hibernating thing. Keeping my box turtle in my fridge crisper or an insulated box outside really weirds me out. Next year I'll have to learn for my Russian's sake, but is there species of box turtle that are from more tropical regions and don't require hibernating.

This is a new area of turtle keeping for me so bare with me.

Cheers,
Garrett
