I just realized my box turtle has 3 back toes. He was sold as an ornate does this mean he is a three toed?

Probably, but if you post a picture we can tell you for sure. The ornata have very distinct looking carapaces even at hatchling age.

I can't really see it, but it's probably a 3-toe. Here's what an ornate hatchling looks like:

The photo makes it difficult to see what kind it is. Can you post a better one like the one Yvonne posted?

Post a top pic, I have 3 toed and ornates..... I think you have a 3 toed but it could be a hybrid
