Terrapene carolina carolina
Black shell, patterned in orange, which is highly variable. Box turtles usually grow to about six inches.
Field
These turtles have a nasty habit of hiding around where I'm stepping, so whenever I find one, it's invariably after almost stepping on it. Thankfully, I haven't actually stepped on them yet. Found at Barbara A. Beiser Field Station.
