Florida Box Turtle

Florida Box turtle for sale is one of the most popular box turtles for sale online in the United States and is also known for being one of the more colorful species of box turtle for sale in the world.

All box turtles have a high-domed and rounded shell, marginally hooked jaw and slightly webbed feet. Males are slightly larger than females, have shorter and slightly more curved claws and longer tails with a concave underbelly shell (plastron). Females have straighter and longer claws with a flat or convex plastron.

Box turtles earned their name from their ability to hide from predators by contracting into their shell completely due to their hinged plastron which can almost fully close.  Hatchlings are born with a flattened shell and a plastron that cannot close completely. Juveniles develop the high-domed shell within 4-5 years.
