Jimmy has moved about 165 feet SE of his last location. He is sitting with another male box turtle under a multiflora rose bush in a field.

This is the ongoing saga of “Jimmy” the Eastern Box Turtle. Through the magic of modern technology, glimpse into the life of a wild box turtle in its natural environment. For more detailed info on Jimmy and my Eastern Box Turtle conservation and tracking program please take a look at the Turtle Tracks website at: http://www.geocities.com/thesolorover/Boxtrack.html

Box turtles are easily stressed by over handling and require more care than is generally thought.
