Eastern Box Turtle

Hi lynngillette, welcome to Project Noah! The "Common Name" box is just for the name of the animal, then the "Scientific Name" box is where you put the animals scientific name to complete the spotting. Without the scientific name, your spotting will be incomplete. I have just provided the name for you, so when you get a chance you can update it. The "Description" box is where you will describe the animal, then under the "Habitat" box is where you can explain it was in your yard sunning itself, the common name box is not the place for this.

Some helpful information is in our FAQ, and the link is at the bottom of your page. Have a look at that, it can answer many questions you have about the site. We look forward to seeing more spottings from you to come!
