I just saved one of these from the road grader this week. Heard grader coming down the dirt road, looked out the window, saw a tutle lump half way across, and ran for it.
After sprinting across the yard it occured to me I had no way to handle it if it turned out to be a snapper. I was so happy when I spotted the yellow.
Mr. Box Turtle was successfully moved to a large blackberry patch at the back of our five acres. Looks like it's going to be a bountiful crop this year. Hope he sticks around to enjoy eating some of them.
I teach economics at Kalamazoo College. My wife is also an economist. We were on sabbatical in Europe for the 2014-15 academic year. (Salamanca, Spain, followed by Oxford, UK.) We were in Uruguay for the 2006-7 academic year.
