waterlogged Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 normally i think this one must go after small insects or something. it could always be an omnivore just not called that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaky2 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 No need to worry about me caring for a BD I've been studying them for a while, but box turtles, well their practically a tortoise right? and are they cheaper because I can't really afford a $3000 pet. no completely different animal with completely different habitat and requirements.

waterlogged Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 if we get technical the semi aquatic turtles like red eared slider and such are actually teripins, a turtle lives pretti much all the time in thw water exept for laying eggs i think. and then A Tortoise is land dwelling, i don't know of any that live in water or if they can even swim. theres a question for the forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask me i would go for a blue tongue skink waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than a beardie and less $ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 boxies can swim and enjoy it.Mediteranean tortoises can`t and sink like a rock. Boxies for my moneysworth are an aquatic tortoise.Americans call anything in a shell a turtle which makes it harder.What i have seen of boxies they are a damp loving forest dweller with the ability to swim if needed.They are more canivorous than herbivorous as well and eat fruit and veges(this probably makes them omnivorous?)There is a desert dwelling species that can handle dry conditions.
