I got Box turtle that live just behind my property.... for the past 3 years I have had remove it from my yard as my dog thinks its great fun to play catch and fetch with... no doubt I will have to do so again this year... And yes I know its the same box turtle, my son decorated the edge of its shell with a silver sharpy marker the first year we found it.

The Eastern box turtle will live it's entire life in an area as little as 5 acres.

With a mainly vegetarian and insect diet, they are harmless.

They love fruit and can often be found in upland wooded areas that have wild strawberries and dewberries.
