yeah I asked this on a turtle forum but not quite sure their identification's correct as I've googled "three-toed" turtle... those pics had 3 on front legs, this fella had 3 toes on rear legs

not sure but I think this visitor might've died on us. no way to check as we had to move out soon. :(
At least the RES was rescued from a fish hook caught through her? tongue...

Yes, its a very colorful 3-toed box turtle. Terrapene carolina triunguis.

They are so-named because they have 3 toes on their BACK feet.
