I just saw a good deed.

Rt. 5, just north of Ridge, saw a guy stop his car and help a box turtle across the road.

I hope he helped it to the side that the turtle wanted to get to.

I do that all the time..have not seen many this year and the one I went to help yesterday it was too late

I stop for turtles every time I see them on or by the road. I especially keep an eye out in the morning if it's rained. I haven't seen too many this year either.

My buddy found a baby box turtle in his flower bed this morning. Shell is only 2.5" long. He's got it and an older full size turtle in a flower bed with a bunch of worms to eat. Hoping to get them to stay around and come back for years to come like the one he had growing up (it was wild, but came back every year for 5+ years for the easy food).

Same here. Not many turtle around that I've seen.

I did go to help one last year that was crossing in front of St. James Pub - until I realized it was a snapping turtle. He was on his own then.

Funny you should say that. I stopped one day to help a turtle across the road (like I always do) and I walked over to pick him up and it was a snapper! He started getting a huge attitude and hissing and having a fit. I tried talking nice to him but the attitude continued, so I booted his butt across the road and into the ditch. Should have left his ungrateful self right there :turtlepie:

Same here! Hubby and I were driving along many months ago and saw one in the road. We stopped, as did an older pickup truck. Hubby had already picked up the turtle and it was on its way back into the woods when the gentleman approached us. He wanted to use the turtle in soup.
