What kind of turtle is this?

Pre-cooked soup.

This turtle needs water. It's not a dry land terrapin.

Red eared slider if it has redish or orange spots on the sides of its head. If it just has yellow then it is a map turtle. Its an aquatic turtle and will eat goldfish, worms, raw hamburger meat, etc.. They are hard to keep if you dont have a water filtration system because their water gets dirty really quick and stinks. You would need at least a 20 gallon tank for him to live in.

Give it a VW paint job and set it free.

Box turtle is what I know them as. Go to a pet store and get some grasshoppers and/or crickets to feed it. They sell them dried for lizards and such. Should be fine in the yard just give it somewhere to get out of the rain and sun. And don't let it get ahold of a finger!!!! HG

Definitely not a box turtle!

Red ear. Wheelbarrow won't hold him for long. Pet stores sell turtle food also.

looks like a teenage mutant ninja one to me

[jathomas437]

LOL, yeah he peed big time when I picked him up. He's in the wheel-barrel in this picture.

When I brought one home as a kid, Dad painted racing stripes on his back. We took him to a local park and turned him loose in the tank there. I saw him on and off through the summer that year.

That was his way of not letting me keep it and making me happy about it.

yep red eared slider for sure! he is a water turtle. We had some that were a little bigger than a quarter growing up. They lived in a 150 gallon tank. They had mostly water but also a area to climb up and sun themselves on a heat lamp. They grew to about the size of a my hand stretched out. My dad deposited them in the local golf course on the 17th hole. They just got to big for the tank. They sell turtly food and blood worms if I remember correctly.

yeah we found two about that size when we were kids....parents were all at work so we decided to put them in a friend's mom's high dollar freshwater fish tank....as soon as they hit the water they started eating her fancy fish....i dont know how many they killed before they were fished back out of there but none of us were very popular at their house for months

kinda cute when they are that small though, seemed like a good idea at the time

[Birddog]

They make good plinking , moving targets...
