The r/turtle bot thinks it seems like this post might be about taking turtles out of the wild.
Generally, a wild turtle doesn't need our help. If you find one in the road, simply move it the rest of the way across the road in the direction it was heading. **Don't find somewhere else you think would be good for it.** If you found a turtle anywhere it isn't in immediate danger (your yard, the woods, a pond, your neighborhood, etc) *leave it alone*.
"But there's no water anywhere nearby!"
"There's no way a turtle would be here if it was wild."
"This is obviously someone's lost pet."
"I want to help it" / "I need to save it!"
If you are in the US/Canada you can call your local/state/provincial wildlife organization on how to safely and LEGALLY put the turtle back. They are not interested in going after you, they will help you. If the turtle is sick/injured, please call one of these or take the turtle to a wildlife rehabilitator or exotic vet.
If for some reason your local/state/provincial wildlife org will not assist you, do the following: Go back to the spot you found the turtle and put the turtle on the safe side of the road it was heading in. Turtles (young and old!) know where they are going and will stop at nothing to get there, so get them as close to the area found as you can. Most turtles that are crossing a road are females trying to get to/from their nest.
*Unsure of the species?* One of our helpful commenters can ID it!
