The Eastern Box Turtle is North Carolina’s state reptile, and the North Carolina Arboretum is celebrating with its 3rd annual Box Turtle Day!
Just a little aside here: … State reptile??!!? … Is there anything states won’t pick an official representative of? Not that the box turtle doesn’t deserve it. It totally does. I’m just constantly amazed at all the official pies, birds, books, cars, cats, … and reptiles … to name just a few!
Ok. Back to Box Turtle Day.
