>>It aggravates me when people won't do the research to find out what kind of turt they have.

You & me both! It's so bad here with people keeping them in the backyard that almost every vet in this town including equine vets will treat box turtles. A lot of the local vets keep a feeding care sheet on their computers that they can print out because they see too many people bring them in sick & saying they feed them cat food.
There is no law against keeping them.. yet.

I know another couple that keeps a lot of boxies in the backyard & they were once asked to come pick up 3 turtles from the backyard of an empty house. Turned out one of those turtles was a mud too, but instead of being stupid about him they build a little pond for him when they found out what he was. I can respect that.
