Hi, I recently got a new little tortoise from a guy who wanted him to be able to have a backyard to live in instead of a tank. He found it and lived in a apartment. I have a salacata I have had since it was 6 months (is now 14) and so I was thrilled to have it. But I have not been able to decide what it is. Eats lettuce and grapes fine, picks at watermelon and squash and the grass. I want to make sure I provide it with the proper diet and habitat. It is about 4.5inches Don't think it will get any bigger. Here are Boxy's pics
Thanks Jeana

The pictures aren't showing. Might want to try again.

If you can't get the pictures top upload, give a good description. Otherwise, look at pics ont he net to figure out what he is

Thanks! I could not get the picks to load BUT I did finally find a pick online and it is a golden foot tortoise! And now I know what to feed it!
Thanks Any how!

Sounds like you might have a 3 toe box turtle instead of a tort. Golden foot aka yellow foot get huge...like over 12 inches SCL

Still try to get pics up if you can or PM me them and I'll try to get them up.

I agree with Tracy, It sounds more like a box turtle then a tortoise. I would really try to get the pics up or PM them to Tracey or last you can email them to me and I will put them on.

Does your tort or turt look like this??
