Why does this turtle have a secret hinge? 🐢 Meet Sherbert, an eastern box turtle with one cool trick up his shell.

🐢✨ This is an Eastern Box Turtle! 🐢 They get their name because when they’re scared, they can close their shell like a box—not just hide in it. Plus, their shells are beautifully camouflaged to blend in with leaf litter! 🍂This one has red eyes, which suggests it’s a male. A better way to check is by looking at the plastron—if it’s concave, it’s a male, and if it’s flat, it’s a female. 🐢 Females have flat shells to make room for eggs, while males are concave to help with mating. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑Inste

This morning Sterling and I helped this gorgeous Eastern Box Turtle out of the road! Years ago I was talking with a rescue agency about a turtle that was hit by a car and had a broken shell, and they gave me this awesome advice: 1.

Never relocate a turtle. Turtles have a home territory, and if moved, they will not eat

Our Eastern Box Turtle patients often burrow under foliage, leaf litter, and soil in their enclosures, just as they do in the wild 🍂! Eastern Box turtles can be found in a range of habitats, from meadows to woods. But they seem to prefer moist deciduous forests. This makes good sense because box turtles, like many other animals, overwinter under leaf litter and enjoy the nutrient-rich, moist environment it creates year-round! So when you go to rake your leaves this fall, remember our box turtle
