Re: New Pet
Box turtles are really cool animals, but they are endangered in many areas. Check this link to see what the laws in your state are: North American Box Turtles State Laws
A less brightly colored alternative might be something like a Russian Tortoise. I work at a pet store that carries them, and they are pretty fun to watch, especially when they get fresh fruit and veggies. Any tortoise or turtle has a massive time commitment in terms of lifespan, so keep that in mind.
No matter what you get, research, research, research. Get everything ready, and get the animal last.
