A dear friend of mine moved to Rinngold Ga, which is almost adjacent to Chattanooga. She saw a box turtle in the woods by her house last year, but couldn't get any photos. The turtle has now come out of brumation and has discovered the delights in my friend's compost pile!!! She sent me these photos today. My guess is a male eastern box turtle. But regardless, we think it's GORGEOUS and hope you enjoy!
