RE: Ozark Critters - Three-Toed Box Turtle
The ornate box turtle supposedly lives in Wisconsin, but I have never seen one. They are listed as endangered. Even if they love strawberries, you are lucky to have these guys!
I was pretty happy to find not one, but two! It's almost too bad they were trying to make a new clutch, in the three months it takes for them to hatch winter will be here.
Too bad....sounds like cold weather is a big threat. Don't you wonder how they meet up? It's not like there is a turtle under every tree!
I do wonder how they find each other! I'm going to have to find out now!
I have seen those in our area as well. Very pretty turtles. Too bad they are endangered!
