No. Don't eat box turtles and toads. I talked about them in my Wilderness Safety and Hygiene video. I'll have a Bug Out Bit in the future about eating Box Turtles and why it's a really bad idea. Hey, good catch for me on the wording. I just fixed it. I like it much better now. Thanks!!!
howdy again squirrelbait...oh I was thinking ot toads as being reptiles. toads and frogs the same thing? boy do I sound dumb, well at least I'm not afraid of asking. so does this mean all turtles? I don't know my turtles.
Nope just box turtles.

Toads are bumpy and dry. Frogs are the green wet guys. You're not dumb. You may not have seen as many critters as I have. I don't know what you have in Texas but you have a lot of snakes right? You can eat them just don't get bitten by the venomous ones. I am not aware of any snake that's not edible.
oh that's how you spell edible! lol I typed eatible or something.
anyway well with our ponds we have tons of turtles and frogs and probably toads. thanks so much squirrelbait!
Oh right! Duh! Now I'm the dummy. I knew you had ponds. Any snappers in there? I hear they are the best tasting turtles to eat. Anyway, Box Turtles are like a small tortoise. You usually find them on land not in the water. I forgot to mention that. Not all with it today I guess.
Eatable is redneck for edible right? Hee hee
haha! yes Ma'am on the edible spelling. we got huge turtles, I assume they are snapping turtles. some are like a foot across.
I like turtles so I would be sad if I had to eat one. I would do it, but I would be sad.
I guess I would be too. I don't think we'll have to though but who knows? we also have fish in both ponds.
