There are currently four recognized species of box turtles: Common box turtle, Coahuilan box turtle, Spotted box turtle and Ornate box turtle.

Look at the meny to the right or at the top of the page to find more detailed information on each species. Common Box Turtle (Terrapene Carolina, Linnaeus, 1758)- The most prominent and well known type of box turtle, of which most of the North American subspecies hail. Its official status is “vulnerable.” Common Box Turtle Subspecies: * Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina, Linnaeus 1768) This subspecies gets its common name due to being located in the eastern United States. It is one of the more well-known subspecies and its official status is vulnerable. * Florida Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina bauri, Taylor 1895) This subspecies gets its name due to being found almost exclusively in the state of Florida, although it occasionally can be found in southern Georgia. Its official status is “least concern”. * Gulf Coast Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina major, Agassiz 1857) This subspecies can be found along the Gulf of Mexico, ranging between the American states of Louisiana and Florida. * Three Toed Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina triunguis, Agassiz 1857) It gets its common name from its iconic three toes on its hind legs. They are more enduring of new surroundings than most box turtles, and is thus to be regarded as one of the better subspecies to keep as pets. * Mexican Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina Mexicana, Grey 1849) This subspecies is endemic to Mexico. There are export laws against in place to protect them, and they are rarely seen in the pet trade. * Yucatan Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina yucatana, Boulenger 1895) This subspecies is endemic to the Mexican state of Yucatan. While it does not have an official endangered rating (outside of connection to the main species, Common box turtle; which would place it at vulnerable) locals have reported seeing less and less of them in recent years. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Many species of turtle and tortoise are endangered in the wild. Always check the rules regarding keeping turtles and tortoises as pets that apply to your area.
