I've rescued quite a few turtles over the years, including in The Villages.
IMPORTANT TIP - If carrying one, be really careful. They have very sharp claws and their teeth can cut right through your finger like a hot knife through butter. Keep your eye on the critter, they're not happy about you carrying them.
