Funny, " I know what happens to free pets" I guess selling a box you found is ok with them.

Not a bauri...probably either a gulf coast or a three-toed.

Apparently they also don't know that you are not allowed to wild collect boxes here in Florida.

I was about to say, isn't it illegal to collect wild boxies of all types now? I know it is extremely illegal here in Texas, comparable with laws against trafficking in native tortoises.

It's a Florida (bauri) Yvonne. A female one I'm guessing.

I contacted the person and she believes it's a released pet. She came walking up to her kids.
Florida has a law that you ARE allowed to take two box turtles from the wild per family member. While I don't agree with taking them from an area where they are safe there are rare cases where they need to be relocated or would do better in captivity.
