A RED-EYED GENTLEMAN · yellow-rayed and box-shelled
Hand-Painted Detail
Every scale, feather and marking is painted by hand to match the real animal — so detailed up close, so charming on the shelf.
Ready to Display
A single, sturdy piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its pose, ready to collect and show off.
Bright yellow rays on a high, domed shell, a matching yellow-and-black face and a pair of red eyes — this Eastern box turtle is dressed in the boldest colors its kind can wear. The Natural World sculpt catches it climbing over a fallen log on the forest floor, front feet planted, head up and alert.
The Red-Eyed Ones Are Usually Boys
Most males have red irises and most females have brown ones — so this bright-eyed figure is very likely a he.
A Homebody
Box turtles rarely wander more than about 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from home, which makes every patch of woods they live in precious.
Shut Tight
A hinge on the lower shell lets it close up completely, head and all — a living treasure chest on four legs.
State Favorite
North Carolina and Tennessee both name it their official state reptile.
