Spotted Box Turtle

Spotted Box Turtles prefer oak savannas and pine-oak woodlands at higher elevations, but are also found in the tropical dry forest at lower elevations. They are terrestrial and associated with hill-slopes with complex understory vegetation. They have been documented eating dung beetles, mushrooms, and herbaceous vegetation. 

Dahl’s Toad-headed Turtle

On Tuesday, December 17, 2019, a 120-hectare (296 acre) parcel of habitat was acquired in San Benito Abad, Sucre, Colombia. This first of it’s kind reserve gives this little turtle a real fighting chance for survival and gives managers an opportunity to restore a genetically healthy and thriving wild population.
