Tang our turtle

[CrazyJen]

My kids found her out in the front yard and we have had her for over a year now. he lives in a 25 gallon fish tank. She is the prettest Eatern Box turtle. She did lay eggs this year but they all cracked and no one to fertilize them We are trying to find her a mate. There are tons roaming here in the streets and stuff but I havent seen one yet, go figure. My hubby see's them on his way to work but he cant keep a turtle in his car all day.
Anyways, this is another pet we have in our home.

I had a box turtle I kept in our backyard when I was growing up in Maryland. She never left, we would feed her and I could pet her head. One year she never reappeared after the winter hibernation. I found her shell in the ground along the fence line a couple years later. Old girl must have died there.
