NO! It's not a tortoise, it's a turtle. Looks like a mud turtle to me too....At first I thought it was a side-neck...ANYHOW...it's most likely a semi-aquatic turtle. It needs to be put with water...Not like a water turtle, but more like a 'beach' where it can either be in a boggie situation or on land. Regardless, that animal will need to be correctly id'ed or you won't know what kind of care it needs, and if it turns out to be what we thought that substrate in the box is not in anyway what it will need....be patient, someone will id it soon, probably my sister....I know it’s a tortoise I just didn’t what what kind.
I was given a tortoise today and idk what kind it is or how to take care of it ..
Thank you for all the information. I’m not sure what it is but it seems to be a turtleI know it’s a tortoise I just didn’t what what kind.
When they tuck in their heads, it's kind of sideways, thus the name. Wow, if this is one, I wonder about its history! It's really cute.My guess is African sideneck turtle.

An alert has been sent twice above to a member we think would know. They haven't responded yet.Oh my goodness. That's a pretty little thing regardless of what he/she might be. That is definitely a turtle smile. You did good!
