Turtle ID

Is this a really old ebt?

 

[Millerlite]

Not that old, when they are smooth no growth lines they are older, he's probably 10-20 years old

Because of the yellow lines on the head, I was thinking it's some other kind of turtle. Can I see the plastron?

It's not mine, just a visitor in my yard. I don't like to handle them and scare them, lol. It's already gone. It's not shaped like the other ebts in the area, and their shells don't flair out like this one. It looked really old when I got close to it.

Could it be a three toed?

I agree 10-20 years old.

Where are you located? it looks like a gulf coast to me but that's just a guess.

How many toes on her back feet? and how big? and yeah, plastron pix would help. I agree she's not that old, 10-20 with those visible rings and shell pattern. What's her story?

Just cruising by my yard, I live in the smoky mountains.
