Today me and my friends were out in the woods and we found an eastern box turtle. It's pretty young, his shell is still pretty colorful. I took it home (don't worry, I'm gonna gonne keep it for more than just today, I know how taking one turtle out of the wild kills many generations of turtles). Anyway, it's been all closed up all day! I've left it alone for hours to come back to see it still inclosed. I've even turned it upside down for a few minutes to see if it would come out to right itself. Oh well, me and I friend are going out in the woods tonight with flashlights to see what we can find, I'll let it go then, but tel me what you think!
