Can someone please tell me what kind of tortoise I have. He or she just showed up on my front porch about 6 months ago. I live in New Mexico
It's a box turtle not a tortoise. My guess is a desert box turtle. However wait for an expert
Maybe that’s why he likes the water so much. But he has so many tortoise tendenciesIt's a box turtle not a tortoise. My guess is a desert box turtle. However wait for an expert
I just looked at a box turtle. Your exactly right. I feel sillyMaybe that’s why he likes the water so much. But he has so many tortoise tendencies
No worries. Better to ask for proper care. Look on the forum for box turtle care. You will learn a lot, I did. I have a desert box turtle too. Mine is under 1 years old. Yours is very nice looking.I just looked at a box turtle. Your exactly right. I feel silly
The reason why we brought her in is because one of its front toes had all of its claws eaten off looks like may be a cat got her, so we were just trying to do the right thing and she’s very happy nowYou should have left it outside and not taken indoors. My opinion
I'm glad you took/and are taking care of her. Is her foot ok?The reason why we brought her in is because one of its front toes had all of its claws eaten off looks like may be a cat got her, so we were just trying to do the right thing and she’s very happy now.
Yes it looks like an old wound. You would be proud everywhere we go we take her. We brought her to Lubbock with us this week. My wife had a doctors appointment. We are from Artesia New Mexico and we went to Petsmart and spent $800 on a new terrarium system, so she is well taken care of.I'm glad you took/and are taking care of her. Is her foot ok?

No v at all in the plastron just straight across. Yellow eyesSounds wonderful. I think it might be girl given the eye color. However post a picture of the tail and plastron (belly) to see if an expert can tell you.
