I don't have any pics right now.
But we have a lot of turtles.
I'm not sure if the eastern box turtle is really a turtle or tortoise but we have a lot of those and well as the ornate box turtle.
This is a list of turtle species.

Wow ! That`s a lot of turtles. They need much space I guess.

I've not personally seen all of them. I have seen lots of common snapping turtles, eastern box turtles, ornate box turtles, RES, YBS, and EPT. I've also seen a species of soft shell in the river but I'm not sure on the species but the do have a back spine and some spots on their shells. I've never seen one over 10" across the shell.

So are your turtles then all wild and in your back garden so to speak? That must be so cool to be able to observe them in their natural habitats. And you don't need to worry about doing anything wrong in your husbandry.
