Toes on back feet.

[CharlieM]

How many toes do Gulf Coasts, Florida and Eastern Box turtles have in their rear feet?

I actually don't know, but I found this saying that EBT's have 4. http://www.bio.davidson.edu/people/midorcas/research/contribute/box turtle/boxinfo.htm
Of course, I only know that three toed box turtles have three toes!

Funny, i too was going to ask how many toes EBTs have. Because i saw this reference:
http://boxturtlesite.info/malefemale.html
which shows (halfway down page) the rear feet of alleged EBTs as having 3 toes. I guess that's an error.

No, not an error. Sometimes other type box turtles have 3 toes, but the normal is four.

Thanks, Yvonne. Just wondering about my little guy. Maybe he's a hybrid...

The way i wrote that last post wrongly implies that the link is about my turtle; sorry.
