When I was a kid I had a small collection of box turtles, all Florida Box Turtles, and I even had four or five Gopher Tortoises (don't tell anyone). So at the time I had some knowledge of different box turtle species. I had a friend that even had the species I found in his collection. I don't know for sure if it was a Kentucky native, could of been Tennesee, but it was somewhere up around that whole area. I have been out of torts for so long I don't remember the species or the locality. But it was not a Florida native.

I just remembered in 1991 or 1992 I caught a grey Cockatiel, I was on my lunch break and I was sitting by the loading docks with some coworkers. This bird lands down on the ground and just starts pecking at the asphault. I walked down the steps and bent down, stuck my finger out, and he climbed right on. He was clearly an escaped pet. I gave it to a coworker who took it home and made a pet out of it.

Now if you find a Sinaloan Milk Snake in the Pinellas Park area arond 102 Ave. and 66th St. I want it back (LOL). I had an escapey around 1991 or 1992, he could still be alive, but I doubt it. He was only a couple of months old when he got loose. His cage was close to the back door, and someone left the back door open that night so I am sure he got out, we never found him.

As of right now I have a Central American Boa and a Ball Python loose in the house (at least I hope they are in the house). What are you gonna do?
