Two more wildlife center refugees. This one is significantly bigger than any of my boxies:
This one has very dark skin and a teeny tiny tail:

They both look like gulf coast box turtles to me (Terrapene carolina major). Hard to tell from those pictures, but I'm guessing the top turtle is male and the bottom one is female.
I think they are three toeds. I have a couple big ones like that too. I would guess male and female too.
To me, they look like two three toed females. How many toes on back feet?
Three toes each. I'd be delighted to have a couple more girls.
looks like 3-toed to me as well

Both are 3toed females, definitely not males
Totally 3 Toed females. That first gal is huge and I like her distinctive shell pock marks.
Awesome! Now I have an even sex ratio, though I'm scratching my head over how I've gone from zero to ten box turtles in the last year.
This also makes three stray three-toes in the last couple of weeks, I guess Santa Barbara has a box turtle problem?
