Hello, I need help identifying what type of box turtle my turtle is. If anyone thinks they know please reply. We found him in the Houston Tx area in a pool filter about to drown but we don't know if is native to the area or if he was a lost pet.

Looks like it might be a young gulf coast.

I'm not good with this question. I think Russian tortoises are good for a beginner tortoise keeper, but a lot depends upon your situation, geographical location, etc.
