These are the male and female Box Turtles from lower posts. Water really brings out the intensity of their colors.
Thanks, Leo

What did you do with them after photographing them?

Sorry, not interested in guessing games. It was a straight forward enough question...

I'm guessing since they are all cleaned up they are now, he kept them. Really ashame if that is the case.

Me as well. I wonder if he/she has any conception as to how vital a single adult female turtle is to the population. Annual losses of only 3-4% due to collection of adults is enough to push a population to extinction over time. Given that populations are incredibly small and isolated in most areas to begin with, this number could be as small as just a few individuals.

That post was written assuming the animals were collected.
