We have an Eastern Box Turtle ladies and gentlemen, right here in the second year of our front no-mow lawn in the middle of a subdivision hellscape. I haven't seen a box turtle wild in 30 years.
This is our second year of no-mow (though we keep a 3 foot perimeter tidy). Just letting the plants and animals show up as they want. I'm so pumped.

What a cutie! 🥹
Oh man. I would love a box turtle! I’m in the wrong area though.
Love this for you
Awesome!
Yay!!! I love wildlife visitors!
I have always loved the box turtles that I spot around my backyard until a couple weeks ago I caught one chomping away on my garden perennials and now I’m wondering how many times I blamed rabbits for eating my flowers up it was them instead!
