Although box turtles are superficially similar to in terrestrial habits and overall appearance, they are actually members of the American pond turtle family (). The twelve taxa which are distinguished in the genus are distributed over four species. They are largely characterized by having a domed, which is hinged at the bottom, allowing the animal to close its shell tightly to escape predators.

The of box turtles is therefore probably similar to that of other long-living turtles. The average life span of adult box turtles is 50 years, while a significant portion lives over 100 years. The age of a growing box turtle in the wild can not be accurately estimated by counting the growth rings on the; Their growth is directly affected by the amount of food, types of food, water, illness, and so much more. Box turtle eggs are flexible, oblong and are (depending on the taxon) on average 2–4 cm long weighing 5-11 g.

The normal is 1-7 eggs. In captivity and in the southern end of their range, box turtles can have more than one clutch per year, while the average clutch size is larger in more northern populations. Turtles can defend themselves from predation by hiding, closing their shell and biting. The risk of death is greatest in small animals due to their size and weaker carapace and plastron.
