Terrapene carolina bauri View in CoL
The Florida Box Turtle, as the name already indicates, is predominantly found in Florida. This subspecies lives in humid areas as well. The dark carapace has a bright pattern of light radiating lines resembling Terrapene ornata. However, the carapace of T. c. bauri is much higher domed and its head is more clearly marked. In addition, T. ornata has a dark marking on the plastron often covering it completely. The plastron of T. c. bauri is usually uniformly yellow. The Florida Box Turtle reaches 15 cm maximally and the hind legs have three toes.
