I grew up with turtles in the back yard
Lots of little turtles that my dad would bring home.

Every spring the turtles would mate. Or rather, the male turtles would chase the female turtles for mating but would actually mate with anything that stood still long enough.

There was one incident where Speedy went after a shovel. I think he may have even smoked a cig after he finished.

Erm...
Nope, you're talking about tortoises.
The biological definition of a turtle is "a marine chelonian".
Tortoises live on land.

It's just a 'Merkin language screw-up.

everyone around here calls this type/size box-turtles. Even the pet stores and vets.

thanks

Ah...
A box-turtle is a kind of terrapin...
Now we're getting complicated...

A true turtle can't walk on its limbs, it has to drag itself.
