Turtle Breed

[BunnyFilms]

Hey there! I have two pet turtles and recently, it dawned upon me that I do not know their breeds for certain. I am pretty sure that the larger turtle is an Eastern Box Turtle (correct me if I am wrong), but I cannot figure out my other little fella.

They both look like 3 toed box turtles. Which are vary similar to eastern box turtles. The second one can even be hybrid. or just a really nice looking 3 toed. They both are great looking though.

@Millerlite is right. They are Three-Toed Box Turtles, Terrapene carolina triunguis. But you are right as well. The Three-Toed Box Turtle is a form of
Eastern Box Turtle, Terrapene carolina carolina.
I could be wrong but the little one's eyes look like it might have a vitamin deficiency. Check the diet. They are omnivorous and need a variety of foods.

Thanks for the heads up about the little one. I will look into expanding her diet. Typically I feed both of them fruits, protein, and a mix of greens. The little one does eat grub too when I take them on walks outdoors. Here is another picture of the turtle too if it helps. I took that picture after they took a little swim.
