okay so i am going to meet a lady tomorrow morning for a trio of box turtles which im told are easterns.... BUT by the photos im not so sure, are they florida box turtles or Ornate?
the first definatly looks to be a three toed. the other two appear to be ornates IMO

just need confirmation.

they also appear to be super dry due to the obvious sub-straight......

okay well the first is for SURE a three toed and the last two are almost definatly Ornate's i was more leaning toward floridas due to the markings being so similer but as others in differant forums have said its been confirmed : ( i really wanted them to be floridas

The top one is a three toed, I think, but the last two are not looking to be Eastern to me. The look like Ornates or Florida, as you said. This is a picture of my Ornate

Yvonne or Maggie would be able to tell for sure.

Yes, I think the last two are Ornate's.

I second the one three-toed and two ornates.

I agree three toed (although I'm wondering if this is a cross) and two ornates.

The first picture might possibly be a luteola, but its more than likely a 3-toe. The other two are ornata.
