Thanks for the reply. I'm quite confident it was a wood turtle. I'm not sure why I didn't keep it for a few days to get some pics!

It was found in Raleigh, which is not in the known range for wood turtles, but it is closer to that range than Salisbury. If
there are known populations in northern VA, I think that's a little under 300 miles north of Raleigh. (Sorry for the nitpick.)

I'm thinking about getting some wood turtles. I put in a small
pond in my back yard, and I can put a small wall around it. Right now the only herp I have is an eastern Indigo.

Thanks!
Ed







>>No, the nearest populations of Wood turtles are about 400 miles from the Northernmost portions of NC. However, I have heard several reports of those keeping Wood turtles that have had them escape. This wasn't, perhaps, close to Salisbury?
