Think about Long Island, a sand island full of people and box turtles. It has been full of people for a very long time and there are still box turtles.

I have to ask, were box turtles native to long island, what was long island before white man got here? Just some thoughts.

Not that collection should not be regulated, making more people should be regulated.

Do you think box turtles or deer produce more offspring? We still hunt deer and they produce very little. ALso the point with box turtles is not how long they live, but at what age do they start to recruit???????? Their longevitiy is a benefit, they can and do recruit for 97 out of their 100 year lifespan. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm I hate this thinking crap. hahahahahahahahaha

You see, its not the age of box turtles thats important, its the amount of offspring that reach sexual maturity. This is a direction, I hope you entertain, when thinking about species.

You are right, without bogs, there would be no bog turtles, so worry about bogs, not the turtle, the turtle will be fine if it has its bog. Same for box turtles, all they need is a box, what, that's not right, hahahahahahahahahahahaha you get the point. Cheers
