I believe they are Florida Box turtles (Terrapene carolina bauri), but a bottom view of the plastron would confirm. The only other possibility is Ornate Box turtle, and the plastron of an Ornate has a bold striped pattern compared to a Florida's more plain pattern.

thx, believe you are right. I will be posting pics if you want to confirm. Thanks a bunch.

I was going to say the same thing - they look like little Florida's.
