| Abstract |
|
Heat production by eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) has been measured directly. The diet was a mixture of animal and plant foods with vitamins and bone meal. The calorimeter was a four liter Dewar flask kept in an insulated box at 240 + 10C. After a fast of three days each of ten animaIs was studied by hourIy thermometer readings for a twelve hour period. The mean heat production was steady (linear) at 0.12 cal h-Ig-I for fasting animaIs resting in the dark at 24°C +-1°C.
