Gulf Coast vs Eastern Box

[ratbones7]

Curious if there's an easy way to tell gulfies from eastern box babies?

I ordered an eastern and its seems to look like the gulfie pics i see on web and it looks a little different than my first eastern baby i had. it is smaller though.

new baby has more color in face and the line down the back more connected...it looks just like this:

I'm sorry I tagged the wrong picture. That's a three toe. Here's the gulf coast

thanks. man they look similiar. i need to get some pics tonight of mine.

it just seems every eastern i've seen has line down back like these guys:

while mine is more like this (connected):

I ordered ornates. But I was sent a three toe and a gulf coast. I knew they weren't ornates and with the help of this forum I was able to get them identified.

Only picture I have from on top.

I've noticed with gulfie a there carapace really flares out towards the back.

haha. now im more confused because the 3 toed looks like mine

If it's a three toed it should have three toes on the back feet. But that is not always the case. My three toe has three on one foot and four on the other.

Yours is definitely not a three toed or a gulf coast.

Ok thanks. Yeah def not 3toed. It probably is eastern. I hope so. Just that it looked so much like that first pic I posted of gulfie and a bit different than other easterns I've seen
