QuestionMy 7 year old male three toed box turtle looks lonely sometimes, and for my own personal reasons i wanted to get a juvenile or even a baby three toed box turtle. No where on any site says that i shouldn't, except for one that says two males together will spar, but i don't want to get a female for the pregnancy reasons. Any suggestions/answers?
Answer"Looks lonely" is a human emotion- turtles in the wild rarely come together in groups, and in fact, 2 box turtles in too small of a habitat will fight or show signs of dominance or stress regardless of sex.
Space is the key. Exact figures are tough because there are a lot of factors, but about 8'x4' for 1-2 adults is a common size. If you have the room, go for it!
