My husband brought home this little guy when on his way home from work. I can't identify him, so if anyone can, I'll owe you one!

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."
Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....
HELP!!! What kind of turtle/tortoise is this?!

One way to find out is ask the OP how many toes does she have on her hind legs?
zzzdanz
New member
Well 3 toes would be,well..a 3 toed although I've had 3 toes with 4 toes
I'm gonna go with Gulf Coast..A pic of the back side would be nice to sex it.The Gulf Coast males don't have the red eyes of the other boxie sub-species so it could be either....unless the belly is concave, then male it is.

Just a side note...I'ld return it to where he/she was found. There's plenty of boxies out there that there is no need to touch the wild population.Chances are they're protected anyways.

Lol it was cruising along a road going through the army base. But we've released it. Away from the road.

That's the best thing for him/her to release back to where it was found.

Well if you found it in VA it's most likely a female eastern.

I agree.
Box Turtles can be so variable even within the same species but knowing where it was found is a big help.

Oh Va....Then I'm going with Eastern Female as well in that case.On an Army base, that's what ya call a protected boxie.
