Eastern Box Turtle (Juvenile)

No problem! Glad you let him go. Boxies can make good pets, but they're declining over much of their range, partially due to the pet trade, so it's best to go captive-bred or rescue if you do decide that you want a box turtle!

Thanks, I was thinking it was a baby box because I couldn't think of any other land turtles that would be there.

Of course he was reluctantly released...

Very cute juvenile turtle of some sort. I am not sure of the species but here is a link that might help you with an ID:

I hope this little guy was released after his photo opportunity.
