thank you, the enclosures are forever projects....... the turtle is a female blanding's.... like the eastern's they come with a variety of shell patterns
about a month ago a lot of my eastern box turtles got out, i was finding them for 2 weeks..... i wasn't entirely sure how many there were, i kept thinking 17..... today fo some reason every turtle in my yard was out, and i counted 17 box turtles, so it looks like i found everybody.......
i had a couple brush piles, i moved them and found 2, found one in a fence corner and one in the garage 2 weeks later, my dog found i believe 4, he didn't hurt any of them, he had them by the back door, it was obvious they were in his mouth...... i watch him sometimes now, i think he's still looking for more......
