Where and when are the best places and times to find or look for turtles? What about night crawlers? Thanks.

Answer 1

Turtles are found in many ponds and lakes, what type would depend on where in the world you are located.

I hope you're not planning on capturing a turtle for a pet. Please don't! Turtles belong in the wild, if you want a pet turtle, buy one from a pet store. Turtles, like all reptiles, can carry salmonella bacteria and can make you very ill if you don't follow proper hygiene for your turtle or for yourself. This is the main reason most pet stores no longer carry turtles.

I'm not sure about night crawlers, sorry.

Answer 2

Night crawlers like it under things that were sitting there for a while outside and turtles like it right outside lakes or rivers.

Answer 3

Any decent sized pond or lake has turtles. If you have a small kayak or boat, you can cruise right next to the shore and snatch them out of the water as they come up for air.

Nightcrawlers, find damp soil and drive a metal spike/pole into the ground. If you strike the pole with a hammer, the vibrations cause the worms to come to the surface.

Answer 4

I don't know about box turtles, but water turtles are pretty easy. Look in almost any pond that has been there for a while, and watch to see heads poking up. Binoculars might be useful. If you see them, look along the water's edge for babies. As a beginner, you might need a net, but I've been catching them for a while, and nets just get in my way. Babies will usually stay less than ten feet away from the edge, and are simple enough to catch. Just wait to see one, and rush to it and scoop it up. Look at the hottest part of the day for water turtles, because they will probably be sunning themselves. PLEASE make sure you take proper care of them. They need a tank with ten gallons of water for babies, larger for adults. They also need a filter, food, Aqua-Safe to remove harmful chemicals from water, a floating turtle dock, decorations, gravel, a water heater, UVA/UVB lights, a water thermometer, and heat lights.
Happy Herping!

Answer 5

Please if you have decided that you want a turtle, please do not take one out of the wild. They typically do not do well once they are placed in captivity. If you are set on buying one, please buy one that has been bred in captivity.

Night Crawlers, Go in the night after it has rained. I would suggest a large yard or field.

Answer 6

open storm drains are the best place to find baby turtles. worms can be found in any damp soil ..... next to buildings flower beds etc.
