specificaly a turtle noticed they have turtle food at wally world

Anne may have a problem finding turtle food in NC as they are illegal to
be sold here.

I rescued a box turtle from the middle of a busy four lane highway a few
weeks back. He's now temporarily ensconced in a 40 gallon aquarium in
my dining room. (S.O. justified buying the aquarium as it will be a
home to a snake once the turtle is released.) The turtle, a male
(they're easily sexed), has been happily munching down on night
crawlers, superworms from Petsmart, cat food (fish flavoured only is his
*definite* preference) and assorted *drak* green leafy vegetables. All
of the diet suggestions were gleaned from extensive googling.
