When my son was 3, he and our babysitter painted a blue spot on a box turtle (or more correctly, box terrapin) and named him "Old Blueback" . He shows up 4 of 5 times a season, the last time about 2 weeks age. My son is now 11. I guess they really do roam as little as the experts say, at least here in Alabama. I just don't know where he hides between sightings. Allen >In a message dated 10/15/2006 4:00:47 P.M. Central Daylight Time, >jhnichols@bellsouth.net writes: > >Sonny, > >Nice shot of the old fellow.
