Wow, gorgeous! Does anyone know how common overgrown beaks are on wild specimens? That looks a bit like an escaped pet to me.
Howdy neighbor!Very Nice, He looks great to me. Your not to far away I'm in Westmoreland Co.
Are we all 100% positive that a wild boxie will never have a slightly overgrown beak like that? I agree, it's rare, but the big boy looks healthy and good otherwise, except maybe a slightly dry shell, but there's no pyramiding and his nails look great. So is it possible he could be wild and just be enjoying a bit more fruit than usual?
I am out in the agricultural zone with a lot of wild box turtle activity in my yard of 10 acres. He does look kind of "pristine" but it's not super likely that an escapee would make it into where I found him.
