She's an Eastern Box.  Keep us informed as to how she is doing and eating...

Defiantly of the eastern box complex. Three or four back toes? Eyes looked red (99.9% est boxes with red eyes are males) in the picture, but a nice tail shot usually clears up an sexual dispute. Longer tails with the cloaca down the tail is a male, shorter tails with cloaca basically shell-line is a female.

That's and eastern box turtle.I have two of them.Her mouth is looking better though compared to what you say.But maybe it still bothers her to eat because maybe it still sore or it just irretates it.You should maybe take her to someone and help forse feeding her so she gets something in her sistem.I hope her shell and stuff gets better though.

Because three-toeds often breed with Easterns where their ranges over lap. Our female is an Eastern/Three toe mix.

she is eating the prob is she will only eat bugs she shows no signs of pain when she eats and she eats good i just can't get her to eat any fruits or veg.  thats really the only prob. now.  also when do i stop feeding her before winter or will she stop eating her self.  and yes her her face is a lot better now.  there is just a crack there now.  as far as i can tell she is healthy.  she is active, she eats, she swims, she eats out of my hand she is still a little skidish but she will take food from my hand.  and just to night its a little cold here she half buried her self.
