Are painted box turtles actually painted?

Answer by  silli586 (1103)

Believe it or not, the painted box turtle is born colorful. It's amazing when you think of it. They aren't even painted that way! I think they would make a pretty pet, and they have a long life expectancy of about 30- 40 years, which is a long time for a pet!
