Box Turtles
The USA is blessed with some of the most diverse species, in the World. Certainly for me, the Box turtles (Terrepene spp) are amongst the best and most characterful.
I keep and have bred in the past a few of the species here in the UK. Currently I have; Trio of Three toed Box (Terrepene triunguis) Pair of Coahuila Box Turtles (Terrepene coahuila) Two female Gulf Coast Box Turtles (Terrepene major) When I have worked out how to get pic's into Photo bucket, I will post some.

What a wonderful collection of photos, Dan. The torts and turts you keep are so diverse, any idea how many you have all together? You should write a book!
