If you love turtles or low maintenance pets this guy is perfect! He weighs a bit over 16 pounds and measures about 8"×8"×4". He is painted and varnished on all sides and fits nicely into a medium flat rate usps priority box. (Hmmm...would that make him a "box" turtle?😉). Perfect give for that kid who wants a pet! No mess, no smell and no vet expenses! Care instructions will be included with purchase. ****shipping cost is not included in price listed. Thank you for visiting ngreshamart!
