Box turtles are among the most beautiful and interesting turtles around!

Given the low price tag placed on a box turtle in a pet shop, many casual shoppers add a box turtle to their household without preparation or knowledge about how to keep the animal alive. But to fare well in captivity, these turtles must receive the proper care and maintenance!

Since quality information can be difficult to find on box turtles, Philippe de Vosjoli and Dr. Roger Klingenberger have remedied the situation with this Advanced Vivarium Systems book dedicated to box turtles. The authors believe that these popular and beautiful turtles "may teach you one or two lessons about the delicate balance of life, natural law, and the many ways in which intelligence in manifested in nature."

This revised and updated Box Turtle Manual is the most complete guide available to help ensure that you have the most up-to-date information on caring for your turtle. The book presents background information and guidelines for caring for a box turtle, including choosing a healthy specimen, acclimating the turtle, indoor and outdoor housing, heating and lighting requirements, feeding and handling, hibernation and breeding. The authors offer special consideration, photos, and information on three specific species of box turtles: ornate box turtles, common Asian box turtles, and Chinese box turtles.

Dr. Klingenberger also provides a chapter on diseases and disorders that gives specific advice about dealing with dehydration, nutritional problems, parasitic problems, and vitamin deficiency. A five-page troubleshooting chart for health problems, resources, and index are all included.

Get the information you need to ensure your box turtle has a long and healthy life with your family, inside The Box Turtle Manual!
