Willow Is a Healthy Young Wood Turtle Ready for a New Home

Willow is a beautiful 10-month-old Wood Turtle that has been captive bred and raised with exceptional attention to proper nutrition, shell development, and long-term health. Now a well-established juvenile, Willow has shown steady growth, a dependable feeding response, and the active daytime behavior that’s characteristic of a thriving young turtle.

At this stage of development, the sex has not yet been determined, as juvenile Wood Turtles typically cannot be sexed accurately until they mature further.

Willow eagerly accepts a varied diet consisting of leafy greens, vegetables, earthworms, insects, quality turtle pellets, and other species-appropriate foods. A carefully balanced nutritional program, including calcium supplementation, has supported excellent shell development and healthy bone growth throughout the juvenile stage.

During the day, Willow enjoys exploring both land and shallow water areas, basking beneath UVB lighting, and searching for food throughout the enclosure. This natural activity pattern, combined with smooth shell growth and excellent body condition, reflects the quality husbandry provided since hatching.
