Eastern Box Turtle, In the U.S.
I have noticed that my box turtle will sometimes sleep with her head hanging out of her shell. She only completely retreats into her carapece when she is burrowed into the substrate or when she is in her hollowed-log hut. She typically sleeps when the sun goes down (or lights-out), but will quickly spring back to attention when there is activity in the room. She rises early (with the sun).
He kind of looks like Verne from over the hedge... he might be a Box Turtle in general or maybe some species of slider.
No, different types of turtles can only mate with each other if they are both part of the same sub species. for instance yellow belly sliders and red eared sliders can mate. but a painted turtle and box turtle would not mate.
the eastern box turtle lay there eggs between the months of june-sept. once the eggs are layed the baby box turtles will begin to hatch within a period of 70-140 days.
