Where do turtles go?

[jdthomas 0]

Here in kansas the armadillos are just starting to show up more and more, I don't know much about them but I do know about turtles. they are pretty good to eat as well.
But I would urge you to be carefull when picking up turtles. snapping turtles can get you and you could possibly loose a finger in the process.

And no, I don't mean Turtlespeed.

Recently, I have seen many turtles crossing the street (which makes me cry everytime, b/c I want to go back and help, but I'm afraid I'll go back and it'll be squished).

But I have to wonder, where are they going? What made them want to cross the street?

I was on the way to the dz today and saved a turtle from getting squished in the middle of the road! i gave it a right good scolding too. bad turtle! it was a cute box turtle. he stuck his tongue out at me. then he peed. i put him down and went jumping.

We stop and move them all the time
Once we saw one get hit (by the car in front of us) and saw him mid-air 4 ft and flung off to the side. We pulled over and Billy found him and said he was flipped over but looked fine so he put on the bank of a creek nearby.

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Just think of Armadillos as Opossum on the half shell.

Hell my house back in Florida has two of the damn things living in the front yard! They just come around and dig a hole and set up camp! Bastards

Those are Gopher tortoises. They don't stay in the same hole all year. I acatually had one dig its home under a peice of buried concrete that I didn't know was in the yard until I decided to fill in the hole. Pretty amazing.
