Ornate Box Turtle
by mued2001 on Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:55 am
This is my ornate box turtle, Buddy. He is the only pet we have right now, but I am working on more. The leopard gecko is at the Boys & Girls Club where I work. Since I love reptiles, I was put in charge of caring for her.

He is extremely endangered in WI. There are fewer than five known ornate box turtles left int he wild here and I have to have a special educator license to possess him He is incredibly curious and personable.

Wow Dan, thats impressive. 
5 is a very small amount lol.
I wish i had some sort of license which allowed me to own some sort of animals that others can't, must be such a special acheivement.

Yeah, I'd totally use my special permit to score with the ladies, but my wife said no. Actually, the the Department of Natural Resources here was shocked when I called to turn myself in for possessing an endagered species. They said I could keep him since box turtles cannot be returned to the wild if they are taken from the place where they were born. I would like to find him a lady friend to restore his species, but they are hard to come by.

Haha, im sure they dig it.
It would be a good idea to breed em, but if there is 5 owners that own all 5 your all gonna want to get another owners turtle, so i don't see anyone giving em up. I wish you luck with that though.
