How is this channel not mainstream yet? I mean jeez the amount of information you give out while still making interesting content is super impressive. Between that and your obvious passion for these animals, this is an incredible channel.

Haha thanks! I love turtles and enjoy making videos. Please feel free to share my videos and spread the turtle love ✌🏼👊🏼

Lol when you said beautiful first she flinched

That girl at 4:10 looks just like our Three Toed box turtles!

I live in Texas near the gulf coast. I have two young gulf coast box turtles. They are rescues that were brought in to my husband's vet clinic. . Your have been such a great help in making sure that I give them the best care I can.

Glad I can help! Gulfs are hardy and friendly box turtles

Just found a baby turtle 🐢 under branches from a tree that fell on our yard. It's about the size of a grapefruit. Adorable. So, we're fensed in. We're confused about how it made its way in. Lol....I might take it to our local city lake. I see turtles there.

baby turtles are so so cute i could cry. Turtles are so amazing I love

Great video, Greg . The males look very similar to the Mexican Box turtles males, especially the shell.

Great video. Such a cool and unique species/subspecies of box turtle

It’s gonna be fun to watch those little turtles grow up

Very cool! I have a diamond back terrapin in a 200 gallon tank in Southern Minnesota. He's spoiled compared to most, but your turtles live in Paradise!!

Box turtles are awesome. Eastern and Gulf Coast huge favorites. Both male and females beautiful Turtles.

Great video, Greg!

Gulf coast box turtles are Cool !

Just picked up some Tan Phase hatchlings from a mutual friend. Looking forward to seeing them grow.

Thaks for the info, no one else has ever been able to answer why they look so different from each other yet the same thing.

They have to feel safe! So true. It is their first requirement for my box turtle babies also.Food and warmth makes sense to them naturally after safety.

I planted strawberries and cherry tomatoes in my enclosure. They love it. The strawberries get eaten before they even turn red. The tomatoes ripen on the plant then fall and are eaten immediately when they hit the ground.

That was interesting, so are they actually hybrids? Some looked more like Easterns and some like Three Toed.

@GregsTurtleHaven

Technically they would be integrades since it’s subspecies overlapping in ranges. Gulf coast box turtles are recognized currently as a subspecies, Terrepene Carolina Major. I believe since Putnami is extinct, the resulting turtles are considered to be their own subspecies, with differing appearance and genetics depending on range

I have what I think is a gulf coast box turtle I could send a pic bc I'm really needing to know to set it up as a eastern or gulf coast bc I need help knowing which one it is. So it can be healthy you can pm? If needed.

Does this species go hibernate? I live in indonesia and it's very hard to replicate winter season here

Release it back where found. Taking turtles from the wild is not a “rescue”, and in most states box turtles are protected and taking wild ones is illegal. Just enjoy them as they are 👍🏼❤️
