How much would a box turtle cost One that wont bite or kill me please2007-11-24 1:59:52

I mean with supplies and everything..and it doesn't have to be a box turle..just a smaller one.

Answers:

Look up Russian Tortoises. I like them because they stay small and are vegetarians, so I don't feed them bugs and gross stuff.

I've seen them for sale between $75-150. That's just the animal.

The cage is going to be more expensive. You are looking at about $200 for the cage and all the equipment you need.

Total, around $350.

Also, look into Chinese Box Turtles. Also stay small, but eat bugs and gross stuff.

Get a book. There is so much you need to know about habitat, food, humidity and heat. Read lots of different things and talk to people who have turtles.

A box turtle won't be able to kill you, their bites are not very dangerous. And for the most part, if you treat a turtle properly, it shouldn't bite you. However, they are quite expensive, so for the full kit and the turtle itself you can expect to be looking at at least $50, possibly more than $100.

the non killing ones are expensive ,i would take a chance on the others and probably be under 10 bucks with supplies.

If you go to a place called " Box Turtles R Us", you can probably get a new one for around 352 dollars. If you're in the market for a good used one, you can get a low mileage turtle for around 4 bucks. Remember, though, used turtles come with an " As Is Warranty". You might find a good deal in your local classifieds.

Box turtle, (Eastern (Carolinian) or Three-toe are best pets)- $5 to $30 depending on local market for them.
