Greetings from Florida

[baskets]

I am mom to 2 eastern box turtles, Gertie and Amos Andy (formerly know as Amelia). They have matured and are really going at it . I am so glad to have found this forum, what a wealth of information for the reading.

Welcome! Question, those are not the turtles your talking about in your avatar are they? Reason I am asking is because those are not Eastern box turtles.

Hi baskets:

Glad to have you here on the Forum with us.

If your two turtles are the ones shown in your avatar, they are more than likely Terrapene carolina triunguis (three-toed), and not easterns.

They look very happy and healthy.

That'll give us some fun! We all love to ID animals in here.

If you click on my avatar the picture is pretty big. Amos, on the left, definitely looks like a typical three-toed. But what about Gertie? She has 3 toes, so is she just a different coloration? Her shell is much more domed and rounded than his, and of course she's prettier

 

[Yvonne G]

They both look like 3-toed to me. I have several with the same coloration as the one on the right.

Thanks! I stand corrected, mom to 2 three-toed I am.
