Where exactly did you find that Blandings turtle, I have a project i'm doing on them for the Toronto Zoo so I would like to know some more locations if possible. Thanks a head of time.

I apologize but the sites are confidential. There are a lot of Species at Risk here, the land is protected and entry is prohibited.
