Hello,

A few years back my parents found a turtle in their backyard. When they told me they found it, I thought it was going to be a box turtle. But it wasn't. At the time, I didn't know what it was.
We released it where we found it.

I'm going by memory, but I would swear it was a wood turtle. Does anyone know if there have been other reports of wood turtles being found in central North Carolina?

Thanks!
Ed
