I will attempt to upload some more pictures of her.
When I had her she was in a very small tank (2ft wide) with a small amount of water and no heat lamp or UV. I introduced her to a 5ft tank very slowy as she could not swim! She has learnt to swim very quickly and yes, those webbed feet make her a great swimmer. She is in a 5ft tank which is 2ft high. Thinking of getting a 6ft tank. I am feeding her turtle food and variety of meal worms and green vegetables.

Thank you

A few months ago there was talk of a turtle and tortoise mating. Maybe a few years ago a mad scientist did some creative gene splicing. It is a very beautiful specimen.
