Well that girl was gorgeous...her colors were really nice but we caught her on Friday and today I took her back to the same spot abit off the roadway. I'll bet when she gets back to the family she's going to say " you guys won't believe what i'm about to tell you"
It's cool. Nature has been returned, Matt will get over the breakup. I was never planning on keeping the female but they actually got along pretty well. He and her were eating together this morning and were moving around independent of the other.
Just a friendly warning. Wild turtles and tortoises carry all sorts of diseases and parasites. Also your turtle could have something that could decimate a wild population. Mixing wild and captive animals should never be done.
