I found what I thought was a box turtle about 3 months ago. It was in my garden which is about 300 yds from a pond in NE Ga. Until a couple of days ago it only had about 1/4" of water. It spent some time soaking but was usually out.I put a larger water bowl and it stays in or near the water, and even tries to dig under the rocks under the water. I changed to a sandy soil because it was always trying to dig, maybe it don't like that. It seems alot happier in the water. It will eat some veggys but verry little. it loves worms and snails. It looks just like some hatchling box turtles I saw on the web. I am trying to get some pics posted but my good camera is down. My question right now is can the hatchling box turtles completly close there shell? This one can't or don't
thanks
Larry
