yeah, we're in a very rural setting as well. i'm not going to be dodging traffic ala sylvester the cat trying to rescue a turtle.
we actually had two box turtles living in my garden tub for a month--both sons in boy scouts, and they were trying to earn the reptile and amphibian merit badge--and altho i don't have a problem with snakes, i don't necessarily want them residing IN my house for a month. so, we lined the tub with paper, added in dirt, moss, etc. a box for privacy, food, water etc...evidentally they were pretty content, as we did find out eventually that one was a male, and one a female.
