Phishnuts I totally understand what your talking about. I live in new jersey and when I was young I would see box turtles quite frequently. Always in areas with very small stretches of woods. I remember about three locations where there was box turtles and I was always suprised to see them there but very happy at the same time. Also I live near cherry hill, nj and I use to have box turtles around my neighborhood(see them during rain storms). I don't see many at all anymore. The only place I have seen boxies are in the pine barrens. But as for seeing box turtles in more residential areas-no, its ashame but i guess inevitable with a growing population. I don't know if this is the case in areas besides jersey, and that is why i was critical of the guy on the faunaclassifieds because i know how rare wild populations of boxies are around here.
