This was not taken outside. It was taken in a tank. One summer my family watched a Box Turtle lay her eggs. My mom and dad helped us pick two and name them mine Crush, my sisters Tuck. Tuck ran away a while ago. But we put Crush in a tank with dirt and food and water bowls. Soon he moved into my room where this pic was taken.
