I've allegedly heard of a little girl that allegedly procures box turtles from time to time, although they all end up in the woods during the night while she sleeps somehow.
Allegedly she also has an old sandbox that ended up as the outhouse of choice for every cat in a 50 mile radius that's been converted into a tadpole pond too.
But, that's all heresay - I cannot confirm or deny any of it whatsoever.

Thank you for that eloquent assessment and I shall remember to keep it in mind...should I actually ever decide to bestow upon my mind a flying rodent's derriere.

I have seen a few of them from my treestand. Pretty cool. Had one come out from under the leaves go about 20 feet and back under the leaves. When I got down I went to see said turtle, never could find it!
