Your baby will probably be able to roll over when he's about six months or seven months, when his neck and arm muscles are strong enough. Some babies manage to roll over as early as three months, but other babies take longer than seven months. Your baby may take you by surprise by suddenly getting the hang of rolling over. This is why it is so important never to leave your baby unattended when changing his nappy on a raised surface.
The box turtle is the only species that spends most of its life on land and hibernates in the soil; the rest hibernate underwater. Many turtles have very long lifespans! Box turtles can live well over 100 years and other turtles like the spotted turtle can live over 50 years. Because turtles live so long, it is not so important that they produce many offspring every year. In fact, most turtle eggs or the hatchlings are eaten by birds, foxes, or other predators.
The ornate box turtle is a small (up to about 6â) land turtle with yellow, radiating lines on its shell. These lines may fade as the turtle ages. It has a hinge on the plastron that allows it to close its shell completely, hence the common name âboxâ turtle.The only other land turtle native to Arizona is the desert tortoise, which has a uniformly greenish-brown shell without any yellow radiating lines, and can grow up to 15â in length.The desert tortoise is not able to close its shell completely, and has distinct growth lines on its carapace.f you encounter a box turtle outside its native range, for example, within the Tucson city limits, anywhere in Maricopa County, or the northern or western parts of Arizona, this turtle is likely someone's escaped pet and does not belong in the wild.
