Box Turtle and Tortoise Discussion :: What kind of box turtle is this?

[misterturtle]

I was told it was an Eastern box turtle, but I just want to make sure either way. Thanks.

It's hard to tell when they're so young. Looking at his feet, he's not a 3toe.. Are you thinking of buying him/her?

[misterturtle]

Yes, I am thinking about buying it and I want to know what type it is

As far as IDs, you may have more luck here

I ordered an eastern from a local store and ended up with a rather bland looking 3toed boxie. Still my baby, but not what I paid for. I think you should take him home no matter what he is... way too cute

How big is he? My Eastern box turtle's shell is much more plain than that, but maybe mine is just younger (mine is only 3 months old)

Id say its a Gulf Coast Box Turtle

jenaero --- I agree, too cute. I bought him/her this morning

imderanged --- I have no idea how old he/she is. It's the size of a quarter.

I'm going to post it on the other forum and make 100% sure. Thanks.
