a story, in brief…five years old, in the back of the nova on the way to lake of the ozarks, step dad stops, picks up an ornate box turtle from the highway, gives it to me, it immediately bites a triangular chunk of skin and flesh from my thumb…which i hide for fear that my parents will take this wonderful jewel of an animal away from me. Love at first bite. love them still. :)

Sri Lankans believe it too!
Love it (Both photos as advice)!
