Hello, I work at a petshop and my manager sent me on a quest: we just got a tortoise or maybe a box turtle of some sort, we are not sure. A lady brought it in and had it for 4 years but doesnt know what kind it was and she gave it to us. I was wondering if somone could help me figure out what kind it is. Its not that big, maybe 7 or 8 inches from tail to head. Hes not colorful like some of the pictures I've seen. But he has some orange spots on his head and neck
Also, when he came in he had some eye problem, it was redish and bad looking so we put some liquid drop on it, and some kind of turtle eye goop. We also have "Dr. Turtle" and was wondering if it would be a good idea to put one of those dissolving things in his kitty littler pan (cleaned!!) water dish to help treat him. It says its for aquatic turtles and reptiles, but since we dont even know what kind this is, we dont know if we should use it. If you cant identify it exactly, it would help if anyone could even post picture of what it MIGHT be and I could do some more research.
