Some of my pens share a common wall. These particular pens are constructed of modified landscaping timbers. I can swear that the turtles know if another turtles is on the other side of the wall. Sometimes, I keep sexes separated. The males will almost always pace the walls behind which the females reside. Could they have seen me place the females there? They are usually hidden when I do it. It seems to be irrelated to food. Steph once stated that Dr. Mitchell did a study that basically hints at box turtles not being able to detect each other by any other means than visual. Hmmm, sixth sense maybe?
I don't know about the other guys on here, but I can definitely pick my Wife out of a crowd at 100 yards...she certainly has the "glow"
