Box turtles usually stick to their scrub, but this might be mating season in your area. We hope he make it.

that's a box turtle, moving them too far from where you found them is basically a death sentence since they have a tiny home range and will spend the rest of their life trying to get back

I would name him Mownot, or maybe Moenaut
