 A few Turtles I’ve rescued from the road

I love turtles everytime I see one in the road I stop and move it out of the road in the direction it was headed. I’ve taken pictures of a few of them.
I just don’t know what kind they all are.
This one is an eastern box turtle



I’ve never seen a turtle this bright orange in color. Can anyone tell me what kind he is?



I found this turtle leaving my local bank crossing a four lane road. I’m not sure what kind she is either but she was huge. Anyone have know what she is?

Second one is also an eastern box turtle. The third one is a red eared slider.
Finally someone that doesn’t keep "rescued" turtles!

I agree another eastern and more then likely a red eared slider, definately a water turtle. Poor slider should be in a pond not at a bank lol.
