Box turtle ID

[kimber_lee_314]

Is this a luteola?

 

[Saloli]

possibly check the number of radii (yellow stripes on the carpace)

 

[Maggie Cummings]

I'd say it's a T. ornata ornata but you'll probably want to wait for Danny to make a positive ID on him...

 

[dmmj]

where are you getting all these boxies from?

They're not all mine ... although I do have a lot! I've been looking for luteolas for a while.

 

[Yvonne G]

Yes, it is.

It's a T.o.ornata. You can tell as it as 8 radiating lines on the second pleural scute, unlike the T.o.luteola who have 11-14.

 

[Saloli]

i wasn't sure i used to have one when i was younger (in texas) but somebody stole it

I agree with Yvonne It's a Desert box turtle, T.o.luteola. I'm counting 11 rays on the second coastal scute.
