The tank & turtle were back out on his porch tonight.
Darn, I thought he released it. He must bring it inside at night.
When I saw the tank he had a little water in the bottom with
small white pebbles covering the bottom of the tank. He had
a large flat rock that the turtle could stand on to get out of the
water. It gets dark within 45 mins of my getting home, so I'll
have to wait till tomorrow, but I'm going to offer to buy this
turtle & bring him to a large state park. There's one about 40
mins. from me. (Eagle Creek State Park) Indy is going to get
a hard freeze over the weekend. (27 degrees) It's not a tiny
little hatchling or anything & he/she will at least be able to
eat bugs , hibernate or whatever they would do naturally.
Geeze, I don't need this hassle. I wish I would never have seen
it in the first place. I just can't forget about it & see it there
day after day. Know what I mean? Tomorrow's independance
day for this turtle.
