Sorry for posting in the wrong section, but I need some serious advice here!
While browsing craigslist (a site I try to avoid, as the animal listings always make me sad) I came across a listing for a box turtle that someone "kept from getting squished on the road", so it's a wild box turtle. I feel the need to inquire about the turtle now, because it's a wild box turtle that's been taken out of the wild...I just feel really bad for it.
I guess I'm just really confused and worried, what should I do? Is there any hopes of taking care of a once-wild box turtle in a domestic environment or would that be a horrible thing to do?
