i was smart to take afew pictures of eastern box turtle, only had him over night and the dr. vet. relocated him to mass. a state park there , so he will be passing on that color . i am pretty sure they are endangered.

They are threatened in the wild because of the onslaught of roadkill. Good move for bringing him to a state park.
He'd have a much better chance of survival there.
Beautiful high red Eastern. I have been looking for a high red male for two years now. Excellent save.
Beautiful coloring.

how do you know hes old? just want to know? momo
His shell. When they're young and middle aged the growth rings are visible and pretty well pronounced. This one, you can see the growth rings, but his growth rings and shell are very worn and smooth...almost like an old aldabra or galapogos you would see at the zoo or ALDABRAMAN's pictures..
