New here, can anyone help me? :)

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me anything about this tortoise? I don't know what kind it is and am interested to know. Anyone have the knowledge on this one? Thanks so much! Smile

That is a young Ornate Box Turtle, not a tortoise. Did you find it?

I didn't, but I'll get looking into it right now. Thank you so much for helping. I didn't know where to start. I'll see if I can do some research on the internet to learn more about it. Thank you!!!
