Meet the most colorful ornate box turtle I’ve met. He was sitting right on the edge of a small clearing, making for a perfect photo-op! Box turtles have an extremely varied diet that ranges from fruits and veggies, to insects, worms, and I even witnessed one lunging for baby toads. As a defense, turtles can void their bladders to deter predators. This, however, leaves them extremely dehydrated so, aside from helping them across busy streets, please resist the urge to handle wild turtles. Willcox, AZ.
