Description
I was driving around Sunday evening and came across another Box Turtle crossing the road. This one is a little different than the first one I found([link] & [link] )...this one has red eyes and red on its scales, where the other one had yellow eyes and yellow on its scales. I had to be really patient with this series of pictures since I had to stop frequently to get out of the road for passing traffic. I'm sure I got many odd looks since I was laying on my stomach on the road!Here's a link to another variation, without a fill flash and different white balance: [link]
Hope you enjoy!

The color differences are how you tell the gender apart...We used to have a box turtle that we rescued.
