This morning we discovered an Eastern Box Turtle on our lawn. We suspect she may have a home in a safe place near the storm drain that goes between our house and our next door.  | | The Following User Says Thank You to jaybird0827 For This Useful Post: | |

How cool! Out here they're so rare; all we get is a very rare desert tortoise and a pond turtle.
You're so fortunate!

She doesn't appear to be as impressed with you as you were with her. 
Does anyone know, are Box Turtles as long lived as other turtles? For example, I read recently that they have discovered Snapping Turtles with Civil War musket balls embedded in their shells. And who knows how old the poor turtle was when he was shot in the first place.
