Hello everyone I rescued a tort the other day and need help to ID him. The lady told me she was getting rid of it because it was a tort and she wanted a box turtle(I am now owner #4 for this poor guy). Now after having him and having some other friends who have torts look at him some believe that it is indeed a eastern box turtle and other seem to believe that it is a tort. Please help me id him so I can properly take care of him. Thanks in advance20140801_094206.jpg 20140801_094156.jpg

Well, that lady's just plain weird! Maybe it's not the species of box turtle she's interested in, but it's deff. an eastern box turtle. Looks like a fairly young one too. Let's hope that YOU are going to be her fourth and last owner!

They are escape artists, so don't turn your back.

That's a real head smacker, isn't it? EBTs are great.
