Posted: Sat May 18, 2013 10:17 am Found a box turtle on our driveway this morning
Our yard is completely fenced, and the driveway goes past the fence into the backyard. When my daughter let the dogs out, they went right to the turtle sitting on the driveway. We are in Missouri, so it looks like he's a native species. I think he's a three toed box turtle. We'llrelease him, but I don't know where. I can't put him back in my yard, the dogs will bother him to death, and could hurt him. We don't really have an area near our house that he could go, but there is a park with a lake a couple miles down the street. Would that be ok?
