Your in a tough situation. I see where you are coming from, however by keeping it you can get in more trouble than what it is worth. If I were you, I would try to find an area near where you found her, preferably wooded with a water source, even better if you can find one with other turtles around. However, box turtles can live in developed areas, I have 8- (that I know of maybe more) wild easterns in my back 2 acres and I live in a subdivision. Either that, or you can contact you DNR and ask them what to do if you did find a box turtle in that type of setting-dont incriminate yourself. If you need more ideas, feel free to drop me a line.
