Look Who Was In The Road!
I honestly have no idea how he got here, he was next to a busy highway, and the woods is like 20 miles away.
We were going to release him at the creek, but the weather got too bad and those dirt roads are tough when wet.
Any idea what he is?
Man, he has such a personality, he's not shy or anything and he's not a biter, either.

Where do you live? Looks like a box turtle too me too. Wonder if it was someone's pet?

Northwest Florida, like an hour from the Alabama border
I think he might have been because he is not scared of anything, and he's not mean.
It looks like he's already gotten in trouble, because there's bite marks on his shell.

Hmm, wonder if he is wild or a pet someone released. Cute little bugger.

I feel bad for him. It looks like you just got another pet. He already ran into trouble? That's pretty sad

He's been gnawed, but he'll be OK. They're really good a walking and are more terrestrial than a fully aquatic turtle. They do fine in the water, but it's not as necessary as it is for sliders and their cousins.
I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

looks like a variety of an ornate box turtle. very terrestrial. i have 3 of them at work and 7 three-toed box turtles among lots of other critters. they can become very socialized and the ones we have even come and check us out to see if we have any food haha
Herps are cool.
One of the attractions of outdoor pursuits activities for many people is that life is reduced to the barest essentials, and in the process a more intimate connection to the natural world is established. Food that would be trashed or fed to the dog at home tastes wonderful, a cup of murky water is much appreciated, and after a few days, even a thin sleeping pad can feel like a comfortable mattress as tired bones are able to rest after a hard day's work.
