Hi! Me and my turtle George are native Oklahomans :0). I caught my turtle in my yard 11 years ago when I was just a kid. Now I'm graduating college and realizing that the lil guy is such a trooper and needs better care than he's been given the majority of his life. Yes, i'm acknowledging that I was a stupid kid that should have never taken him out of my yard, but I've been trying to spoil him for the last year and give him everything his little turtle heart desires from here on out. I even make his dinner fresh in a food processor every night :0) In any case, I hope that I can learn alot from you guys and furthermore just share in the love of turtles with other turtle enthusiasts.

I'm not sure, I've done some research on it and I'm at a loss...I just don't know. But here's a pic of the lil guy feasting on tomatos. I'd love to hear what anyone thinks he might be. :0)
