New turtle

tx50cj3a May 03, 2004 11:53 PM

Just got my 2nd box turtle. I had one as a kid until it became too much for me to deal with with school and no job. So anyways, it wouldn't eat for the first few days, but today I stuck another earthworm in front of it and away it went. And then it went to the bowl and ate some grated carrots and sliced strawberries, which was relieving to actually see it eat something. And can someone confirm to me as to whether or not this is an eastern? I think it is, but I still would like to know for sure... (overlook the cardomain.com, that's just where I host all my pics)

hey looks like a very pretty three toed
check to see if it has three toes on its back feet if not then its an eastern but the pattern on the shell looks just like the one my male three toed has

three toeds can have four toes.. it's deffinatly not an eastern, easterns have a black or caremelly brown shell base color that turtle has a light brown shell base color with dark black shell marking.. easterns have red/orange/yellow shell markings.
