About Eastern Box Turtles

The Eastern box turtle, known for its distinctive shell pattern and vibrant colors, is a terrestrial turtle species native to the eastern regions of the United States. These small to medium sized turtles are characterized by their hinged plastron, allowing them to completely enclose themselves within their shell for protection. Eastern box turtles are omnivores, feeding on a variety of plants, fruits, insects, and small animals. Due to habitat loss, vehicle strikes, and the pet trade, they face threats to their survival and are considered a species of conservation concern.
