I adopted a cute little box turtle from my fiance's back yard today....I almost stepped on the critter. He seems to have a slight problem with one of his eyes...he keeps it closed most of the time. I kept one of these a while back named Loretta, but now I have Boris. Who could resist this face? :) I tried getting him to take a mealworm....he was more interested in the flower pattern on my bed. He likes apples too.

Who could resist such a pretty face, not to mention he was the only critter (other than a few small bugs and lizards) that we seen on hour 2 hour walk through the woods.;P ;P

Looks good to me. Perhaps his closed eye is a result some sort of old injury. As for the diet, box turtles aren't predatory in nature. They're more herbivorous. :)

They also love to eat earthworms. Seeing this guy chomp down a slimy red worm isn't very appealing. :) They are for the most part herbivores, though.
