Ok so some of you remember my Escondido Falls pictures, where I found a Box Turtle.

I spoke to a friend of mine Al Roach, who runs Reptastic.com, and he was telling me that Box Turtles are not found any more West, than Texas.

He was telling me how people release pets, to try and start Colonies out here.

I normally dont take things out of the wild, but I KNEW that this was waaaaayyy outta place. We are treating his shell for some breaks, and one puncture wound, other than that, he is perfectly healthy!
