Wood Turtles Should Not Be Collected

            The Wood Turtle (Clemmys insculpta) has unfortunately become a rare sight throughout all of Maryland.  Except for Box Turtles they are the most terrestrial of Maryland’s turtles.  Automobiles and habitat degradation has claimed many individuals, but so has the illegal hunting of these turtles for sell to unethical reptile dealers and owners.  This large male is worth, I have been told by wildlife officials, as much as $400 on the black market.  There are only a couple locations in Maryland where these turtles can be found with regularity.  Because of poachers these sites are kept as secret as they can be by the state.  Undisclosed stream in Western Maryland.
