Thank you all again: your comments give rise to more questions from me, if (as I hope), you are still following the thread. What color eyes do the female box turtles have? I understand birds are anatomically similar to reptiles, and am wondering, with the red/orange male eyes, if their mating habits are similar? Are the males "more flashy" and attractive than the females? Where do box turtles tend to find each other for mating purposes? (There's a road not far from here called "Turtle Club Drive", which I never thought much about, but do they "congregate" in any way?) Here is a picture of our turtle "hauling shell" as cpartschick phrased it. Re turtle diet: I have noticed that this turtle is great at "hunting" worms from the ground, and can also snap flying insects out of the air. One day he patrolled along the perimeter of the house and appeared to be getting the bugs caught in spider webs, in a fashion very similar to how Carolina Wrens do, also looking under leaves for any bugs hiding there.
