A Resident found a box turtle, should I release him?

[Maro2Bear]

I didn’t realize how many Marylanders were here lol.

Yep, there are a few of us..

If you kept it, it would spend its time trying to get out to go back to the place it came from. Never being happy or thriving. It's said they will spend their life time trying to get back to their territory.

I put him back and I go to check on him.

Click on "inbox" in the upper right corner, then click on "Start a new conversation" When the new box opens, you just type in the username of the person you want to send a PM (Private message, now called conversation)

They are like therapy pets for me. Absolutely adore them.

Yes, if it’s wild, then definitely release it.

You shouldn't catch and release expecially if it was exposed to other turtles or tortoises, so it should not have been taken into captivity,but I would release it close to the area where it was found.
