Ben, Igor is just precious. As a kid I had two box turtles as pets. We found them on Long Island where we summered. My mom let us bring them home, where they were adored. Every summer we would take them back to L.I. with us. In the morning we would let them roam freely in the woods where we originally found them. In the evening we would tell our water spaniel, Snuffy, "Go find them." Off she would go and return with them gently in her mouth, one at a time, to sleep for the night. I had them for almost 12 years. While I would certainly not take them out of the wild today, I think they had a good life with us in semi-captivity! I loved them dearly, Lou-Lou and Pinky!!
