Box turtles are commonplace for our channel. You all know who Otis, the eastern box turtle is, and by now you’ve seen some of the many others representing several different types of box turtle, in our videos. Well, things just got very, very interesting. We have officially accepted and offered a forever home to some very illegal box turtles that come from Mexico. The Mexican box turtle (Terrapene mexicana) is an obscure, rare type that is found only in, you guessed it, Mexico. They aren’t supposed to be here in the USA but they are, thanks to poaching and smuggling for the black market pet trade. Luckily, this particular group of Mexican box turtles was snagged by authorities, sent to a zoo, then to a conservation organization and lastly, placed here at GST where they can live a safe, naturalistic life. It’s our hope that they’ll thrive and reproduce to put some actual, captive bred offspring out there. Learn the story of our illegal, Mexican box turtles.
