Hi staylovely47! I moved this cute little box turtle spotting from Amphibians to Reptiles for you. Right now the spotting location is in Ohio, but your comments say OBX (I've been there and love it!). Could you update the map for us to let us know where you spotted this turtle? Thanks!

Also, the wikipedia page I linked to in the Suggest ID doesn't have any pictures of hatchling box turtles, so I'm putting a link here for you of an image of hatchling box turtles: http://www.trailsidezoo.org/wp-content/u...
