I found this little guy truck'n around my EBT enclosure today. Apparently the squirrels didn't dig up all the eggs. I'm pretty excited because I haven't produced any baby turtles since I moved my box turtles to my new house 5 years ago.

A size reference next to one of my females, possibly the one who laid the egg.

Cute!
 
Adorable indeed, well as turtles go. :)

Question, what is an "EBT"? If I didn't know better I would say the area surrounding the turtles looks supiciously like, well, "yard." At least what mine would look like if it wasn't for the weed quotient.:(
 
Soooooooo cute!!!!!
 
Thanks everyone!

EBT stands for Eastern Box Turtle. The photo was taken in my yard outside their pen. I don't spray my yard (if I did 3/4 of it would be dead) for weeds. Just not my thing. If it's green and growing I'm happy. :)
 
Oh. duh. /smacks head.

thank you. I saw the word "enclosure" but not seeing any signs of walls or structure became confused. (This is not an uncommon state for me anyway.) all makes perfect sense now. And I don't spray for weeds either, I suspect the ground would look all naked and lunar-like if I did. :)

still very nice turtles. Here in Tennessee we have turtles of similar overall appearance but I don't recall seeing any with yellow designs on the shell. I mostly see them when they are crossing roads, so I stop and move them to the side their heading for before the next vehicle decides it would be funny to smoosh them. /grrrr.

Have taken a few home and put out by the pond, but never see them again so I figure they headed off for the woods. Very nice setup you have there and am delighted you were able to get them to breed. :)
