Hard to say without seeing it, but your turtle probably has either an eye or a respiratory infection and needs veterinary care. Such infections are especially common this time of year. It would also help to know whether your turtle is kept indoors or outside, what kinds of temperatures it is exposed to, what it is fed. Poor husbandry- meaning being kept in the wrong conditions- accounts for most turtle ailments. I am including a link to a care sheet for eastern box turtles; the same information applies to three toed boxes. Study it and compare it to how your turtle is kept. But if your turtle indeed has an infection, he needs to see a veterinarian, one who is knowledgeable about reptiles. http://www.austinsturtlepage....
