Appearing thick here but are they called 3 toed because they have 3 on the back feet? I see they have 4 on the front and the turtle on the right looks as though it has 3 on the back unless one is out of sight?

Geomyda - Do you have any care sheets for these?
I'm just intersted to know what husbandry they require.

If you have email address, I can forward a good paper on Keeping Terrepene spp. Also recommend a couple of books: 1. The Box Turtle Manual- Phillippe de Vosjoli, & Roger Klingenberg DVM ISBN 1-882770-29-3.
2. North American Box Turtles- A natural history, C Kenneth Dodd jnr, ISBN 0-8061-3294-9

I have a collection of 3 toed box turtles and I am looking for other other owners in the UK to share information.

Hello,
