I went home for lunch today and I spotted my other turtle so I snapped a few pics. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is a pic of them together

buy the eyes and tail it looks like this new one is a female 3-toed box turtle, Terrapene thriunguis, so looks like you might have a pair, good lookers too buy the way. The male has a lot of yellow, almost eastern looking, possible some naturally occuring hibridizing. Where are you located, just curious?

Hey, do you let your sulcata and deserts run loose in your fenced in back yard? If so I envey you, i have always thought that would be super cool, not very fesible here in Iowa, unless I devoted most of my basement to housing them in the winter, don't think that would work with the spouse, unless I bought her 10 acres and a horse.

Yes, I let the Box turtles and the older Deserts roams the yard. In the winter I let the Deserts hibernate in a box because the ground stays too moist. The sulcata and younger Desert go on the side of the house (easier to find them) in the summer but the Desert comes in at sunset.

Here is a pic of them eating together taken this summer

This is the new Desert I adopted Nov 4th

Another of it next to a baby adopted last year
