We found a Box Turtle in the road this morning on the way to Target. I pulled over to a safe spot, put on my caution lights and walked over to it. Of course, the little guy or gal didn't recognize me, so he/she quickly went totally in his/her shell. I put it on the floor in the van and we went on to the store. We let it hang out in the van while we quickly ran into get a few things. We came back and he/she had moved some, but was safe and feeling a little less scared, I guess. It just so happened that there was a PETCO right next door, so we walked into it with our new little friend. Knowing that my kids would enjoy watching this little guy for a day or two, I wanted to find out some information about him and find out if I could get a nice temporary container for him to hang out in (plus, I figured the skinks we catch would enjoy a better container as well) Sure enough, a guy was very helpful as he told us what a Box Turtle likes to eat and what environment it likes. We bought a container and took him home.
