Sometimes people who love animals do unintended harm.

Relocating an adult Box turtle or Kingsnake from somewhere you perceive as a “busy” or “dangerous” area to your property will only result in a higher mortality rate. And in the worst cases can reduce the health of your current population.

The best thing you can do is help them to the side of the road in the direction they were headed.

-C**t Mooney

Eastern box turtles are in serious danger. These precious little animals reproduce and mature very slowly. Although they usually live to be about 50 years old, with some even surviving a century or more, most will only produce just to three young who survive to adulthood.

With reproductive rates this slow, box turtles can’t possibly survive if they continue being captured as pets— something that happens by the thousands every year. Although it’s illegal to capture box turtles in some states, many have yet to protect these imperiled creatures.

Leave box turtles alone. If you see one crossing the road, simply help it cross in the direction it was going. Otherwise, let it be.
