Chinese box turtles are always hungry. The most active species of box turtle I’ve ever kept. Feeding on pellets, meal worms, and earth worms. They thrive when raised in shallow water as hatchlings and prefer to be on land as they get older. | Southern Reptiles

Box turtles are small but mighty and right in our backyard! Alongside Southern Conservation Trust, a team of aquarists from the Aquarium joined them to learn more about these turtles' environment, track, and protect their nests. Box turtles, as a species, are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, so it's important for us to learn more about places they are doing well to better help the species overall. | Georgia Aquarium
