Eastern Box Turtles ( Terrapene carolina carolina ) are found throughout most of the Eastern, United States. They prefer woodland areas, and eat fruit, insects, worms, and fungus. They can be quite time but will often completely hide within their shells if threatened. Males typically have red or bright orange irises and females have duller, brown irises.
