So I know this is really frowned upon, but I just took an Eastern Box turtle from the wild today. A few months ago I almost ran one over in the road, so I stopped and helped it cross, when I noticed the pattern on its shell. I took a picture and then went on my way. Today, the same thing happened only it was the same turtle from a few months ago. I know it's a bad idea to take turtles from the wild, but this one apparently has a death wish. I'd much rather see him safe and well fed in a nice enclosure in my back yard, then as road kill someday when I'm not there to help.
Anyways, I've been doing research all night, looking up diets, activities, things to put in the enclosure, but I'm new to this so really any kind of advice will help. His shell is about 5 inches long from front to back. Thanks for the help.
