Thanks.
The first one is a yearly at 2"SCL and the second one age unknown at 4.5"SCL. They are both Eastern Box Turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina).
Cheers,
JJ

Give me a chance to enjoy them first buddy! lol 
Box turtles have been advertised quite a few times on this site's classifieds. I know Chris from Reptile HQ in Toronto has some. Scales Zoo sold off five of them a few months back. They're around, but you just need to know people and wait.
Cheers,
JJ

Most of the boxies I've seen look paler than yours. Your 2 look beatiful. Lots of red in them. I've heard easterns don't grow very big, like 4 to 6 inches max. Is this true? I might be able to squeeze just one more enclosure in. I'll have to get you to write me a big letter about how I'm saving the world if I give that box a good home and "accidently" mail it to my wife. It would have to be inportant if she would let me get yet another enclosure. Like, saving little children all over the world, kind of important.

I love the contrasting colors on the Easterns. My tringuis doesn't have the color but the attitude is all boxie. Nice turtles Wu.

If you want to see some more colourful eastern boxies, you should go to Bill's American Box Turtle site. He has some great shots.
I find when you wet the turtles, their colour come out better in pictures. Some boxies are just brighter than others and they will likely loose their colour as they get older.
Cheers,
JJ
