Box turtles live a long time and are very vulnerable to getting run over and having humans carry them away and release them in unfamiliar territory where they're unlikely to survive.

Ornate Box Turtles by Devin Bergquist

One morning while looking for Mexican Hog nosed snakes six of these Ornate Box Turtles were seen crossing the road. These are a protected species in Arizona and always fun to see.

The highlight of anyone's trip to Hawaii a swimming encounter with a sea turtle. I was fortunate to have this encounter with 5 feeding turtles on a rocky point near the beach.

This is in the wild sea, not a pool. We swam with them in the sea on another day. An unforgettable experience!

There are dozes of turtles living in the small pond at the train station. Kids (and adults) lined up to just watch them swimming around and relaxing on the rocks.

Box Turtle by Tom Stirling

Small box turtle that we rescued from being run over in the middle of a busy road in Cape Cod MA. We saw him literally in the middle of the road about to step out into oncoming traffic. We stopped, picked him up, took him in the car and drove further up into the woods to release him. He returned the favor by posing for a few photos before retreating into his shell.

This big ol' one-eyed snapping turtle was found along a road in Westminster. It was rescued from certain doom by one of our kindly bio lab assistants and will soon be living in a nearby park. He's enjoying a fresh spinach leaf.

My Turtle Ruga by Lady Caos

Woah, my turtle! She's HUGE, and eats only meat and fish. Beware, she's dangerous. She should be about ten years old now...I bought her with another turtle: they were called Tarta and Ruga ( Tartaruga=turtle in Italian). Unfortunately, Tarta died ^_^'

Per gli italiani: Ecco la mia enorme tartaruga Ruga, che mangia solo carne, è vecchia ed è pericolosa. Ne avevo due: Tarta e Ruga X'D ma Tarta morta ^_^'
