Species: Gulf Coast Box Turtle

Sex: Male

Atticus is a distinguished gentleman who looks at things the "right way" (because his left eye doesn't work). He is a gulf coast box turtle who came into our care along with along with 8 other turtles from a transfer partner in Denver. 20+ turtles were surrendered from the same home where they were not receiving adequate care, and we will never know much of their histories as a result.

This handsome boxie can be shy at first, but has blossomed into a confident turtle friend in our care.

Atticus is a slow eater who LOVES his earthworms! He enjoys being tong-fed his favorite earthworm snacks, which provides an excellent opportunity to bond with him. He also does great with eating a homemade box turtle diet for an easy pre-portioned meal. Atticus would thrive in a home where he can be housed alone with plenty of enrichment to explore.
