∙ 12y agoi was told that they are not necessariyl endangered. they are threatened by people who drive and hit them and people who take their habitat and make new homes over it. the Box turtle as i read up on tends to go whatever direction it is going even if the place it is going is being tore down. they want to be at their home. if you see one on the road either avoid it or grab it and put it in the direction it was going. or near it because if you move it in the opposite direction it will keep going regardless and probably take the chance of getting hit again. but right now they are just being threatened and I imagine in a few years if it keeps going the way it is with no protection for boxed turtles becoming a household pet or worse road kill then they will keep depleting. I would say it would be better not to keep them as pets because then they can't reproduce and coontinue with the population. but they are very much not endangered or otherwise extinct. I saw three today at east fork park. so that confirms it. but if we help out the box turtle maybe it wouldn;t have to be threatened by humans.
The eastern box turtle is not an endangered species.
