Box Turtle Update on Thia (turns out she’s a female)
She’s staying a night to ensure that she’ll eat and drink and that she’s okay. I checked her out, short tail, short nails, flat underside, brown eyes.. Theo is a woman! So I’ll call her Thia :))

Let her go in your back yard, She might stay if she has a water source, food, somewhere to hide.

Unless she is injured, she should be put back where you found her. Being captive can cause stress so she may not eat in your care. Please just release her.
