Someone gave this guy to me. He was found near St Pete Florida. I have found ornates and florida boxies here, but not sure what this guy is. He is larger than an ornate, but not as domed as a florida boxie. He has a very concave plastron and has three nails on the back feet. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks,

last one I hope

Thats pretty typical of the Florida Box turtles i've seen in the Tampa Bay area.

This is a Florida Box Turtle. Ornate Box turtles do not occur anywhere near Florida, in fact, the closest place to find them is in Texas.

I do have an ornate that was found in Florida by a friend of mine. Could have been an escapee I guess.
