I happened to find a pair of Eastern Box Turtles while I was out hiking in the woods. I took the opportunity to show how to tell male and female box turtles apart as well as how to tell the age of a box turtle by counting the scute rings. This method of determining the age of a box turtle isn't exact but it can give you some sort of an idea as to how old the turtle may be.
When trying to determine the gender of a box turtle look at both the eye color and the underside of the shell. Females usually have a brown colored eye but I have seen females with red eyes as well. The underside of the shell will have a concave portion on male box turtles where the females will generally have a much flatter bottom.
