Found this little guy at N Campbell and W Webster during lunch today. Can't say I've ever seen one this close to downtown before. Is there an active population or was it just visiting?

I've found one nearby the Kraft factory last autumn. Don't know how he navigated all those roads to get there.

These crafty and dedicated shits will go anywhere. We are very low on rain and they'll keep searching.

I found one crossing Grand at South ave and it was about 15 inches across, the thing was massive!!! I picked him up and helped him or her safely cross the road. We have box turtles all over Springfield but they aren't usually out much at this time of the year, maybe he escaped captivity! Run little guy! Lol
