"  I wonder if there are any other friends-of-the-box-turtle on this
list."  Yup.  We almost always stop and move them off of the road when we
see them.  There are several old timers near the house on the farm that
have been seen repeatedly over the years. It's one reason we keep the
lawnmower set at 3.5 inches. Rehoming  is fraught with problems and is
quite stressful on them.  Best to return the rescues back to the location
where they were found. They are very territorial.
