Calling these North Carolina spots “playgrounds” is like calling a treehouse, a trail, and several vanished hours “a quick stop.”

🌿🐢 Terrific Terrapon Tuesday! 🐢🌿
Today’s reminder from nature: Be gentle. 💚 Gentle hands, gentle hearts, gentle interactions. Everything deserves a little kindness! 🌱🦋🐸
And, as a friendly side note… being gentle with humans doesn’t hurt either. 😉😂💚

TERRAPIN TUESDAY: North America’s common box turtle (Terrapene carolina) is found throughout the eastern United States and much of Mexico. For people who do not know turtles very well, almost every North American turtle they see is likely to be erroneously labeled a “box turtle.”

The real box turtle is distinctive, with a high-domed carapace (upper shell), and a hinged plastron (lower shell) allowing the turtle to completely enclose itself within to evade predators. There are a total of seven recognized species of box turtles, with three recognized subspecies of the common box turtle.

North American box turtles are declining due to habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation, in addition to human activity. Many die attempting to cross roads. The species has been assessed as being vulnerable to extinction. As with many reptiles, and especially turtles, box turtles are long-lived, and slow to reproduce, making any population declines that much more dire.

These charismatic turtles are omnivores, and are known to eat a wide variety of animals and plants. Their home ranges are surprisingly small, varying roughly between 0.4 and 15 acres; for better context, the lower end of that range is smaller than a football field. All of this means that these turtles cannot be moved far without causing them harm. While it can be tempting to keep a box turtle found in a roadway as a pet, removing that turtle from the wild may be detrimental to the local population. It may also be illegal due to state protections.

If you see a box turtle in the road, and can safely help it cross, move it only in the direction it was headed across that road. It has a destination in mind. It is so important that more people understand the challenges our native reptiles are facing, and help conserve them.
