The Three-Toed Box Turtle is a small terrestrial turtle native to the southeastern United States. It is characterized by its high-domed shell, which can be brown or olive with yellow or orange markings. This species typically has three toes on its hind feet, which distinguishes it from other box turtles. They prefer habitats like forests, grasslands, and wetlands. These turtles are omnivorous, feeding on a diet that includes insects, fruits, and plants. They are known for their ability to retract their heads and limbs into their shells for protection. The Three-Toed Box Turtle is often kept as a pet, but it is important to ensure proper care and habitat conditions.
