We live in Central Texas on a small ranch/farm. One evening a couple of weeks ago, my hubby heard something bumping against the front door. When he opened it, he started laughing. I'm attaching a picture of our box turtle - technical name is a 3-toed box turtle, as identified by a PhD at Texas A&M! The pattern on her back is very pretty. I say her because the description in the book I have says that a female has yellow eyes, a male has red eyes! Hubby took her down to our tank (pond) and released her near it. She swam along for a little bit, then climbed out on the bank.

You should report this box turtle sighting to the Box Turtle Watch in whatever state you took the picture!
