male? female?

I’m so glad you posted! I took over care of a box turtle a year ago, thought it was a boy but it doesn’t seem to have the coloring male box turtles have! Maybe the experts on here can confirm for me. Your turtle is a pretty one! Looks like you are taking very good care of her.

can't tell with those pics. you need to see the underside of the tail. ( the vent area)

Sorry, tried to post this one but it got left off, I can try for another picture if that doesn’t work.

looks male to me..but hard to tell.

That looks female to me. Very tiny tail, and back feet aren't big like male box turtles' feet are.

I would say female. The vent does protrude beyond the edge of the shell a little but the combination of dull colors, brownish eyes, the absence of plastron concavity and a small tail and back feet indicate a female box turtle.
