OMG he does have pink eyes! How wierd is that?! o.O Ours has bright orange eyes and the male at the center looks blood red.

:D
 
It is pink... wow.

Seems like your box turtles can't make up its mind on what gender they should be!

First a female with red eyes, and a male with pink eyes!
 
Eastern Box Turtles..Looks awesome! Are they common in the pet trade(in CA?)

and the pink eye thing..does it make him expensive..or is it a health issue?
 
The pink eye is just a a rare genetic trait. I don't know if it make him more valuable or not.
 
If all goes to plan Davo, I will be releasing the young back to the wild. I have already had people contacting me for babies. But I don't want to count my turtles before they've hatched! :D

I don't think you can take them from the wild at all in any state they are native too, but I have seen captive bred ones for sale on Kingsnake.com. I can't believe how expensive babies and adults are on that site! :eek:

I have no idea how rare pink eyes are, but he's got them! I wonder if any of the young when adults will show that trait?
 
hey, I just found a 3toed Box Turtle for sale at Loggerhead Acres.
But what about Easterns?
