Field Notes

Description:

I'm not sure if this is an ornate box turtle or a three toed box turtle. It was a baby that escaped the mower!

Species ID Suggestions

Three-toed box turtle

Terrapene carolina triunguis

It's definitely not an ornate box turtle, so by default... :-)
Thank you, I think it's a three toed but it didn't have the facial color
There is an image comparing the undersides of the two species
Maybe Ornate but turn it over and look at this http://www.herpsofarkansas.com/Turtle/TerrapeneCarolina#Gallery
