Hi everyone! My name is Daniel and I'm a long-time box turtle enthusiast in Louisville, Ky. I took advantage of the pandemic to construct a 16' x 8' enclosure in our backyard, which I've been meaning to do for years. My wife and I now have two happy turtles living in the habitat - both found a few weeks ago during a fishing trip. I figured I'd post photos of our two turtles in an effort to double-check my conclusions about their respective genders. One turtle, in particular, I'm unsure about, even though I'm familiar with most of the features that tend to correlate with male or female. I'm hoping a more experience eye than my own can confidently put the mystery to rest. I won't offer my opinions because I don't want to bias anyone. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide. (and yes, turtle #1 is missing its back foot - probably stemming from an animal encounter many years back, if I had to guess).
