Below are the species of turtles that I'm working with. All of my turtles are captive bred. Turtles do best when kept outdoors during the summer. Click here (4MB .pdf) to read my article about how to construct an outdoor turtle pen.

	Gulf Coast Box Turtle Terrapene carolina major The largest of all living box turtles, this race can attain sizes exceeding 8 inches. This is the least widespread subspecies of eastern box turtle, ranging along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico from the Florida panhandle to the Mississippi delta. Their shells often have flared outer edges. Click here to see another photo

	Yellow Pond Turtle Mauremys mutica Native to northern Viet Nam, China and Taiwan, these turtles grow 7-9 inches. Not much is known about these reptiles.
	Reeves Turtle Chinemys reevesii Also known as the Chinese three keeled pond turtle, Reeves Turtles love to bask. They are omnivorous, feeding readily on turtle pellets and a variety of other foods. With a maximum size of only 5 - 6 inches, Reeves Turtles make excellent "first pet" turtles. This is a very hardy species, with lots of personality. Click here to see another photo
	Kwangtung River Turtle Chinemys nigricans A relative of the Reeves Turtle, found only in Southern China and Northern Vietnam, this turtle is a good example of overcollecting for the Chinese food market. Kwangtungs are virtually extinct in the wild. Glossy black on top, with orange to yellow belly patterns, these turtles can reach 10 inches.
