To bad its not a friggin Salamander already!

Found these two digging around in the mulch along my patio.

I think, well Im almost sure its a male female pair.

I think, well Im almost sure its a male female pair.

Eastern box turtles, right? I believe the males have red eyes, whereas females don't. Must've been exciting to find two in such close proximity; I have a hard enough time encountering even one!

 

[JWERNER]

Yup, but I have come across different sexes with different colored eyes before.

The sure shot is the plastron, size ( if age can be told ) and tail length and width. This little male has very light eyes but Im positive its a male.

I come across at least one each time I go into the woods which is almost everyday cause I take the dog into the woods for walks. Sometimes up to three turtles. This place is loaded with them.

That's great. We used to have lots of Box Turtles and Gopher Tortoises around me. Now we don't.
