These turtles may be active in Florida year-round – including warm winter days. These little turtles are known for their ability to close up their shells tightly when threatened, giving them excellent protection from predators.

These are not the typical boxes you open up this time of year…they’re box turtles! 🎁 A box turtle is a type of turtle capable of completely sealing itself inside its shell. These turtles have hinges on their plastron, the bottom part of their shell, that allow them to lift the front half of the plastron up toward the carapace, or upper shell. This unique defense mechanism enables the turtle to hide safely when threatened. We have a variety of Asian box turtle species at our Turtle Survival Cent

Look what I found on the trail — an Eastern Box Turtle! 🐢🍂 These amazing turtles can completely close their shells like a box when they’re scared — it’s how they got their name! Their beautiful camouflaged shells help them blend perfectly with the forest floor. 🌳 This one’s likely a male (red eyes are a good clue 👀), but the best way to tell is by checking underneath: males have a concave shell, while females have a flat one to make room for eggs. 🥚 Box turtles don’t have webbed feet like a

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 Creature Uses a Drawbridge to Stay Safe! 🤯Let’s talk about the remarkable hinge on the bottom shell of a box turtle. Observe how the slightest touch causes the turtle to close up and seal itself shut, an adaptation that has evolved over many years to help the turtle evade predators. When we carefully examine the hinge on the bottom of the shell and how it acts as a drawbridge, we can see how it allows the turtle to completely shut itself when spooked. This differs from other turtle species
