Is that an eastern box turtle? My dad works in Ohio and finds them quite often. He sends me pictures every time he sees one. I might be wrong about the species because I just did a google search. They look identical to yours though.

Definitely an Eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) and a lovely one at that! It reminds me of examples from the breeding group at Deer Fern Farms that used to be located in Washington state, but relocated to Florida a few years back. I have one of their males that was given to me by a member of The Turtle Room staff. If you are ever looking to re-home this beauty please contact me.
