You will be able to get to know your turtle better, thus providing it with better survival chances or better health and longevity. Owners must be aware of what it takes to keep a Box Turtle!

This book was a life saver!,
By
This review is from: The Box Turtle Manual (The Herpetocultural Library. Series 300) (Paperback)
I bought a box turtle in 1993 because my grandkids talked me into it! And boy was I ignorant! The little thing almost died before I found The Box Turtle Manual. And no wonder, because I was doing everything wrong! This little book saved my turtle's life, I have no doubt. And now my turtle is not only a healthy, happy, growing, hibernating, reptile, but she has her own website.... It answered ALL the questions I had, plus ones I didn't know enough to ask! It was and continues to be invaluable! Thank You Philippe De Vosjoli and Roger Klingenberg!

The Box Turtle Manual or "My Box Turtle Bible",
By "tigrazhia" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Box Turtle Manual (The Herpetocultural Library. Series 300) (Paperback)
I love this book. I can't praise it enough for all the helpful hints it has given me, helped me out with big and small problems I've encountered with my turtles, and last but not least, it SAVED ME MONEY because I didn't have to go to the veterinarian with all the small problems, they were easily dealt with once I knew how. It's a must-have for any turtle-owner!
