Does anyone remember the posting a little while back from someone who was claiming they had found a huge box turtle?
I offered to post the photos if they would email them to me, so they did, and I'm doing that now.
Here are the 2 photos that were sent:
This doesn't look like a box turtle at all to me!
I think it's a slider of some kind.
What do you think?

Thats not a land turtle at all. I'm leaning towards a yellowbelly also.
Not a box turtle at all.
Either a red-eared slider or a cooter the both have similar belly markings. Definitely not a boxie.
I would say it's a wood turtle. Looks kinda like the one I have. Mine looks exactally like that one the bottom. Just not as much color on top, but my guess is it's a wood.
Either a red-ear or a yellow-belly... definitely not anything else.
Deffinately a slider - I am not an expert on sliders, and there are so many subspecies. Cumberland Slider. I have a slider book at home, I will take a look over the weekend. That would be a good one for the what kind of turtle Forum (I am sure you probably posted it there)

to make sure the owner/finder get sit some water and checks to see if it is a nesting female.
