Description
This beautiful male box turtle has a striking pair of reddish-orange eyes. Many times the males are distinguished from females by the color of their eyes. Males often times have brighter and redder eyes than the female. A better way to tell is males have a rounded plastron (bottom of the shell) and the females have a flat plastron. Eastern box turtles are becoming increasingly more scarce as habitat is lost and by people collecting them for pets. Box turtles have a small home territory of about a square mile where they spend their entire lives. If moved from their territory they will spend their lives trying to get back there.
