they sell them down the street from me, I don't remember because they had baby sulcata I couldn't take my eyes off of, I think they were running around 350. They weren't babies they were about 4 inches.

probably not. Boxies are I think the most common.

usually, oranate or eastern box turtles are the cheapest overall. IIf, perhaps, you get one from a pet store, it will approximately cost about $300+
which is a bit costly.
Breeders (the good ones) sell boxies for about $50-200 which is a better deal. Getting one from a pet store, it can be caught from the wild carrying diseases and parasites.

I'd like to add that if you're not willing to pay $150-$300 for the purchase of the animal, what about the money you will have to spend on food (the worms I buy are 50cents each) or money for lights, habitat or vet bills?
