Here she is! I will need suggestions for setting her up. For now she's in a Christmas tree storage tub with forest moss, a big saucer for water, a slate to bask on, and a new MVB.
She measures 5 1/4 inches long with the plastron closed, weighed 620 g. after that first worm. Her plastron is beautiful and smooth, but her carapace is rough. The white that shows between her scutes seems to be latex paint, judging from the way it peels off in the soak water. She has been kept dry for at least the last 6 months. She shed big chunks of skin in the soak water at school.
Gulf Coast boxie?? 3 toed? She does have 3 toes on the hind feet.

Hunting the first worm!
