Other Turtle Discussion :: Can anyone identify me???

Does anyone have a clue what he is....

[Skadica]

I don't know but it is a cute little guy. With huge eyes.

Where are you located and where did you find him?

[Aqua8]

He's from florida, pretty sure, and a friend of the family, or rather a friend of my parents, had bought him. Which seems really weird considering I'm pretty sure it's illegal to sell any turtle, besides RES's in florida... He said he bought him at a flea market, a man had a couple in a small tank and knowing very well I loved turtles. Out of no where he bought him. Thankfully I still had Snappy's old aqarium, but I haven't filled it with water, I have a feeling he/she's a box turtle. So I only have about an inch of water and a pile of dirt with some bark and leaves scattered about. But if he/she's not a box turtle, then I have a dilemma because I don't want to have an illegal pet in the house, and even worse someone out there is selling them...

I can't tell from the pic, but are the hind feet webbed? He looks a little like a striped mud turtle to me.

My local petland sells painted, yellow belly silders, and one other type but i can't remember the type. and I live in FL.

[Aqua8]

I think you need to take a pic of it's face!and maybe it is a box turtle but I am thinking that your new turtle is a stinkpot turtle!they only grow up about up too 14cms!

It looks like either a florida or ornate box turtle.

[marisa]

Looking at more pics, it does look like a Florida Box turtle.

That's what I was thinking the first time I saw the pic too (Florida Box Turtle)
