Omg, some of you people are terrible, lol. I gave him some water, lettuce, and strawberry, and moved the chair out of the way for him. He keeps opening and closing his mouth. What does that mean?!? Lol.

I just looked this up - he might be sick That would explain him wandering up to your house.

Oh fuck. It's insane to rush a wild animal to the vet, right?
I guess I took to long googling about box turtles, it's already gone. That little thing moved pretty fast. I looked around the yard, but our grass is out of control with all the rain, and I couldn't see anything. Damn!

Is the water in a shallow enough dish? Like a tupperware lid? I'm no authority (actually I kind of am) but I have always interpreted that mouth-opening-and-closing as thirst.
I suppose taking one from the wild is a bad thing ... we mostly picked them up in roadways, and I feel no guilt about that.
Did you know that when you reverse a turtle that is trying to cross the road, it will just start back across again, and that a turtle will spend most of its life trying to get back to its home?
All I can think about are these poor turtles that just want to get home and now they live in a tank.

I think I may love you Turtles are my thing, people taking them from the wild drives me crazy!

Why is taking them from roads different?
Mostly because they could be run over. In environs that are not, in my imperfect judgement, conducive to a long lifespan for a turtle. I'm not up for a debate over wildlife protection, but that's just what we've done in the past; I'm likely to do it again in the future if I'm driving along a main road in an urban environment and see a turtle in the road. Sorry not sorry.
