Coastal Box Turtles
Coastal box turtles are widely distributed, but their appearance will change with age. Due to changes, living environment, weather and other reasons, especially the color of the carapace, not every turtle will be exactly the same, so it is difficult to distinguish the leading coastal box turtles.
The carapace of the coastal box turtle is 13 to 18 centimeters. It is the largest core body of all box turtles, often reaching an adult size of over 20 centimeters. Prefers moist conditions, near shallow expanses of water where wilderness is often found. Includes western Florida, the inner Gulf Coast region, and southern Louisiana. The Gulf box turtles found in Florida are the purest species; those found in Louisiana are likely hybrids of the three-toed box turtle, but tend to have characteristics of the Gulf box turtle. Bayside box turtles do not have their own special markings. The female turtle’s carapace is brown and has almost no markings.
The Bayside Box Turtle is relatively colorless. Their carapace and skin have different colors, and the patterns are dotted or striped. Not all of them are the same. Yes, some adults will also have white patches on their faces, which is a subspecies that is difficult to distinguish. The growth habits are similar to those of three-toed dogs. As long as the most basic conditions are met, they can succeed. Neither the incubation of the eggs nor the care of the young is a difficult task.
