Box Turtle Rescue: Egg Care and Legal Considerations

While keeping a wild box turtle is discouraged, if you're caring for one that laid eggs, know that eggs are normally buried in soil. They may be infertile. For proper care, consult these resources:

• Box Turtle Care
• Eastern Box Turtle (GA Museum of Natural History)

Best practice: Contact a wildlife rehabilitator. Wild turtles belong in the wild.
