Abstract

Box turtles, genus Terrapene, inhabit much of the eastern US and some of Mexico. Many herpetologists and naturalists can recount pleasant childhood memories of encounters with these docile reptiles. Offering a wealth of scientific information to satisfy the highly trained herpetologist, Ken Dodd has written a book about a turtle familiar to most of us sure to appeal to the beginner as well.
