Hello Everyone,
My name is Matt and I live in Maryland. Back on June 10'th my dog led me to a Boxie laying her eggs in the backyard (one acre fenced in yard for the dogs). Since I didn't want the dogs to get to the eggs, because they caught her in the act, I built an enclosure around the eggs. 94 days later 5 little ones came popping out, so I had to make a huge decision. Let them along and sure enough the dogs or other predators (mainly these crows!!!) would probably kill all of them, Or try to raise them until spring when I can let them go, so they may have a better chance at surviving. Well I decided to save the 5 and see what happens. I've already posted the enclosure in the Box turtle section, but I would like to introduce myself to all you Turtle Lovers.
