Please,help me to learn my turtle is sea turtle or not :/

[Tubu]

I got it (Donnie) yesterday. He loves staying in water,but he doesn't look like sea turtles totally. I want to make habitat for it and I don't know which kind of habitat I have to make...Please,help me to clarify

that looks like a species of pond turtle where are you located? did you take him from the wild? every turtle species has different care requirements.

it's not a "sea" turtle but possible a aquatic turtle

I live in Azerbaijan,not from the wild, i found it inside the potato sack

i think its a hatchling European pond turtle. i would ask the member theTurtleRoom to help you on the care for this species.

Welcome. Cute little turtle. What do you mean "inside the potato sack"? Are you using a translator?

Hi Tubu, and welcome to the forum!

This is crazy! How could the poor little thing stay alive long enough to go through all that potato packaging/selling/buying! How lucky your are. Let's send a shout out to @Gerards He will know what species the little guy is. In the mean time, keep him in water and have a rock or something in there so he can climb out of the water and sit in the sun (or under a light). Because you already have two turtles, I'm sure you know, but I'll remind you...water turtles can't swallow food unless they are in the water.

No, not a sea/ocean turtle, but a fresh water turtle.

Great story and great find. He is sure cute.

Actually their habitats are my garden)

Your garden is great for the ones in your second picture (tortoises), however, the new turtle needs to be in a pond. It is a water turtle.

 

[Yellow Turtle01]

He is a cutie!
Your original three are tortoises.
Your new baby is an aquatic turtle... so he likes to swim, but he also needs a bit of land to bask on!
I'm so glad he was okay!

Great find TUBU.
