I'll have to post a few pics one of these days. I have a box turtle living in my front yard. I have no idea how it survived to get there, it's surrounded by roads and there isn't really much wooded areas for quite a ways.

Would you say your turtle is about the size of a coconut??

He was probably dropped by an African Swallow...

Either way. I'm glad hubby saved him and we got him cleaned up.

Glad you saved the turtle. But my vote is to let him go!

Update on turtle....

Released him back into a pond right near where he was found. He swam away quite happy. Decided to let nature take it's course. Turtles live for a long time and I wasn't really looking for the commitment they require. He was fun to have for the few days we had him.

He probably drowned and He did not look like a water turtle..

Well, when we had him, we put him in an aquarium with some water, and he stayed in the water all the time, rather than in the dry part. It's not like we chucked him out in to the center of the pond!
