How is the saw-edged box turtle?

The saw-edged turtle (keeled box turtle) is not easy to keep. New arrivals may refuse food from stress, and long starvation can be fatal. Its gut is fragile, so spoiled, greasy or spicy food causes gastroenteritis with weakness, refusal to eat, closed eyes and pale stool, and in severe cases dehydration and death. It likes warm, humid places at 25-30 C; below 12 C it hibernates.
