looks like a 3 toe to me, but there's a very easy way to tell: count the toes on the hindfoot!

[Wu-Gwei]

HAH, that little thing is soooooo awesome!!! Did you guys end up leaving his enclosure in the living room???

[Turtle_Crazy]

omg!

i love his facial expression on the 3rd pic, what a cute lil' hatchling! i changed my mind i wanna be a boxie mommy! i think you should enter the 3rd pic in a contest , its just soo cute!

Take care of that baby ;)!

[Melly18]

Cute isn't he! :D

Matt: Yeah we did keep his enclosure in the living room, but we may put him somewhere else...he's a bit too high for me to reach :p

Thunder: he's got more than 3 toes...you can tell on the 3rd last pic... i will count again tonight but i think he's got 4 toes on his hindfoot.

He is so cute, just a quick question how big do those things get?

[Holy Mackerel]

I would say it is an Eastern based on the fact that it has a light coloured spot on each of its larger scutes. On its plastron does it have a central dark spot??
They may not always have the centralized pigment, but its another step indicating an E. box.


Optimus, they generally grow up to a max. of 6 inches (length of carapace)

Hope you enjoy it, they're definatly adorable when they're young, or i suppose anytime at that!

Whatever he is, he is waaaaaaaaay too cute! o>

[Tim and Julie B]

The light patches on the scutes aren't conclusive to it being eastern. My hatchlings have no light pattern. Maybe I can find a pic. TB All I had in the gallery was this picand I think it is a three toe.

awww! those guys are so cute, they look like they have their own little personalities :D

[Tim and Julie B]

They certainly do you should see him run after even the largest cricket. Turtles are the best reptile for personality. Everyone should have at least two. TB
