I have only Eastern box turtles in my care here. I'm not interested in expanding the 'herd'. I'm not in the pet trade at all, nor am I a collector: my primary interest is conservation. All of my turtles came from a single construction site before they were bulldozed into oblivion.

I have been known to salvage eggs from roadkill of other species of turtle, incubate them and release the hatchlings (in the same area where the female was found.)
