Another Female Eastern Box Turtle

We found her on Thursday in the back of the house while clearing kudzu vines. She stayed with us for a few days. We identified her as a female, but were not successful coaxing her to eat. They are basically omnivorous, eating anything that they can fit in their mouths, but fruits and berries are favored. We released her on Saturday morning before setting sail for a 3-day weekend.
