Thank you so much. I looked it up and agree that she is a three toed box turtle. I'm so happy ya'll helped me uncover her identity so now I can take even better care of her diet wise. Ya'll are so helpful and wonderful, I'm so happy I found this forum. I am very grateful for everyone who is...

Thanks I just saved a tortoise from a bad situation. I saw her online for 20 bucks but they had her in a 10 gallon aquarium and was feeding her aquatic turtle pellets. I took her to the vet but he didn't seem very knowledgeable about the species. I'm not sure if I have a red or yellow footed...
