but still have 5 active little movers
My hubby swears their boxies, but after looking at painter eggs they look alot alike. Their measuring as box cause painters are about a half inch shorter. Anyway if their painters we have several lakes around the house unless someone wanted one and just paid for shipping. I'm not gonna charge anyone for a good home. Now if their boxies I'll have to give them to our nature center. I don't think we can keep them in Michigan. Which brings up a good question: if they end up being eastern box turtles and they were laid in your yard, we tried the outdoor enclosure thing but coons were still getting to them so I brought them in to incubate can you get a permit to keep them or try to find good homes?katelyn0974 said:
I'm so jealous if they're boxies.
I'll have to contact our DNR once I find out what they are. I don't know if certain circumstances matter with boxies. I do know you can't catch them in the wild and keep them as pets here. They are protected. Keep in contact with me and I'll try to find out if theres anything I can do. I just don't wanna break the law.katelyn0974 said:I have heard of certain areas needing a permit, but I'm not aware of myself needing a permit here in south Florida. I would find them good homes.
I did find 4 different nests that were full of eggs so I brought them home and placed them in the incubator. I got 69 eggs that day! I will be putting them back where I got them but I'm going to make sure they get to the water and pray they make it safely the rest of their journey of life. Can't save them all unfortunately but every baby helps. Good job! Your doing great!
