I went out looking for snakes today and stumbled across a Va. box turtle which I brought home to show my kids. I am planning to return it where I found it but noticed it has 2 large lumps. After researching it looks like an inner ear infection. If I return him to the wild is he sure to die or can they fight it off on their own. I called the vet and don't have $125 to spend on a turtle I'm not planning to keep.
