i hope to get the females to drop and ill raise the youngens until i need to get rid of them. really pretty turtles-ill get some pictures posted of them. if this keeps up, ill name the "kennerly rd. specimens" and jack the price up 10 bucks or so.

I call them as I see them!
And if you would have read "all" of the posts you would have read this!

The right thing to do would be to pick up the animal and place it on the side of the road in the direction it was traveling.

And of course leaving the turtles in the road would do them no good, but taking "all" you find to sell, doesn't do them a bit of good! There chance for breeding and the continuation of their gene's into future populations end the moment they are removed from the wild. So in essence as a continuation of a species, they would have been better off if they "had" been left in the road.
But don't get me wrong I think it is fine to collect reptiles etc.... but in a responsible way! And taking every one you find is hardly responsible.
