If you see a terrapin,
safely stop and move it in the
DIRECTION IT WAS HEADING;
NOT where it came from. 
Diamondback terrapins are wild animals and beautiful species
but are NOT PETS! 
Do not take terrapins as pets. 
​-----------------------------
They are a nongame species
and it is illegal to harvest or collect them.
