I found a box turtle once, in the middle of the street in Long Beach, CA, and despite all of the Internet advice not to mess with box turtles, I didn't want it to get run over, so I brought it inside, went to the vet, and ended up keeping her for a few years until the Army was supposed to send me to Hawaii, where you're not allowed to bring reptiles. So I gave her to a family at Fort Lawton that built a huge enclosure in their back yard, and they took her to another vet to try and get an age estimate, and they guessed she was at least 70 years old. She definitely did not behave in any obviously elder manner. Same as any other box turtle I've ever met.
