Description
The Eastern Box Turtle, Terrapene carolina carolina is a subspecies of the hinged-shelled turtles known as box turtles. This turtle is native to the eastern United States. I found this little guy in the NJ Pine Barrens. While not endangered, they face an uncertain future due to habitat loss, mortality by road death and people collecting them for pets. Please leave these guys in the wild. They have a tough enough future without people taking them out of their natural habitat. If you find one in the road, help it cross by carrying it across the road in the direction it was traveling.
