Andrea - 2011-11-22 I have a female fl. box turtle Named RoadKill :)) I finally today got her to eat salad pieces and lettuce (sorry if spelled wrong:) I had no clue how to take care of her or even what kind of turtle RoadKill was But I did A LOT of reseach and is a perfect owner of fl. Box turtles (but I'm more of a frog person :p)
trish - 2011-08-23 I've had a male FL box turtle since March in my backyard...wondering if he's lonely for a playmate? Please contact if you find a friend to join him! No $$
Pam - 2011-08-21 I found a baby Fl. box turtle today while working in my yard. I have 2 aquatic red eared sliders I've had for almost 20 years, but do not know anything about box turtles...HELP! It's sooo tiny, about the size of a quarter. I was thinking to take it to a turtle rescue tomorrow but do not know how to care for it overnight. My daughter-in-law said I should put it back where I found it, but I cut down a gigantic bush that it was underneath and now I'm afraid a snake or bird may eat it, (as it's sooo small).

Charlie Roche - 2011-08-22 It has been overnight so obviously you figured out a way to care for it. You can just take it to a rehabilitator - they would know what to do and where it can be released.
Arthur - 2011-05-22 We have several Eastern box turtles but I got my first Florida box turtle today. Swapped a man down the road for a male. Can't wait to see my grandsons face for this one!!!

Fred Hart - 2010-07-28 I saw two turtles with long claws that looked like the Florida box turtle. They were in a man made lake in Amarillo, Texas. Long way from Florida.
Peers - 2010-06-23 Texas? Bah. We just found a florida box turtle in Moorhead, Minnesota. We're thinking of seeing if the local zoo will take it in... it's definitely not native here.
