The species inhabits pastures, marshy meadows as well as open woodlands and shores of rivers and lakes. Adult animals have highdomed brown or black carapaces with a variable pattern of yellowish stripes and blotches. Maximal carapace length is ca. 16 cm. The hind legs contain four toes.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C72AE918F134FFAFBF1302DEFAD3284A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

This subspecies lives in humid areas as well. The dark carapace has a bright pattern of light radiating lines resembling  Terrapene ornata. However, the carapace of T. c.  bauri is much higher domed and its head is more clearly marked. In addition,  T. ornata has a dark marking on the plastron often covering it completely. The plastron of T. c.  bauri is usually uniformly yellow. The Florida Box Turtle reaches 15 cm maximally and the hind legs have three toes.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C72AE918F135FFAEBCDF02A6FE5F28F8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This subspecies prefers clearly drier areas compared to the others. It grows to a maximum length of 16 cm and shows light markings on a tan to brown background.  Males often develop red, orange or yellow markings on the head and front legs.  In order to enhance confusion  Three-toed Box Turtles sometimes have fourtoed hind legs.  Together with T. c.  bauri it is statistically the smallest Box Turtle.</p><p>The two other subspecies T. c.  mexicana and T. c.  yucatana live in Mexico, in the northeastern part of the country and Yucatan respectively. The former form has three-toed hind legs, the latter has four toes. Both are often light brown to yellow in colour with the size comparable to T. c.  carolina, but much bigger animals, resembling T. c.  major, can occur.</p><p>The complete species listing can be found on the IUCN Red List. All are classified as “vulnerable” (IUCN Red list, 2011) on the CITES appendix II.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C72AE918F135FFAEBF4F048EFC0828F8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
