I was recently in West TX just north of Big Bend National Park (in Elephant Mountain Wildlife Management Area) when I encountered a turtle I can't seem to id from my Reptiles book. It was very striking in its coloration with a blueish head, orange legs, and red eyes. Some sort of box turtle I think but it doesn't match any description I can find, or image, etc!!
Anyone know what this guy is? http://twitpic.com/2r07a2 If you have trouble with that link (on occasion when I click it, it tells me that pic no longer exists, the pic is also at my blog http://bohemianadventures.blogspot.com <http://bohemianadventures.blogspot.com/> (scroll down to the pics at the end of the latest post).
