I moved a turtle off of a curb and now I feel like a shitty person
There was this turtle on a curb at my bf’s apt and I moved it because I believed the spot was very unsafe. We live in a college town and he lives in an area where people are always drunk and partying. People are regularly parked over the curb etc. There is a fenced off pond that is not too far away where all the turtles live. I’ve never seen a turtle go up that far from the pond and I decided to move it bc I believed the area would be very unsafe. Now after doing research, I see where many people are saying not to move turtles even if you think they’re in a dangerous area.
I really wasn’t trying to cause the turtle any harm, and after seeing that I shouldn’t have moved it, I feel like such a terrible person. What if I put it in harms way? Should I go and put it back by the curb? Also, when I moved it I thought that was a bunch of poop bc maybe it got injured and pooped, but after I moved it I looked closer and realized it was a hole. I think it was going to lay eggs and I moved it. I’m really beating myself up about this. What should I do?? I’ve been overthinking it and it makes me want to cry. I truly didn’t mean to potentially cause it any harm. What if I caused harm to the future eggs?? What if they all die because of me. I’d never be able to forgive myself.

Random guy jumped on my shoulder from my garage door, I guess, when I put my lawnmower away and closed the door. Refused to leave. Took like 5 minutes to safely relocate him.

How are you guys so good at turning up snakes?!?
I live in north central WV, I love it here, but man everyone makes herping look so easy. I’ve been doing it my whole life (I’m 25) and very rarely find anything. I flip everything I can in every place I can and I hardly find a thing. Even in places I’d think would be gold mines (coopers rock, etc). I see friends in the eastern panhandle turning 13+ snakes of different species after a good day! What am I doing wrong? I’m making sure to check moist, not wet, warm places on days that are dry and quiet, and I’m lucky to find even a salamander. Give me all the tips.

Little creatures
My parent and my sisters boyfriend were gardening and we found some creatures
The worm snake loves being held, in fact I'm holding it right now.
The salamander however, not as much.

Spotted Salamander from my backyard today
Spotted this salamander this morning after letting the chickens out. Almost exactly 8” long. Handled very briefly for a couple pictures and then released back into the pond.

Found a guy on my way to campus
He tucked himself in before I could get a pic, but he had some really pretty orange markings on his neck. I think it's an eastern box turtle?
