Each species needs different care, you need to post a picture...
In Calif, it 'could' be a desert tortoise, an endangered species. First you need to try and find the owner. but we do need a pix to help...
The flash made his shell look very yellow, but it is more green.Duh, lol, I guess that would help. Just afforded them! Thanks!
will beThanks, i wilUOTE="maggie3fan, post: 863195, member: 1445"]Looks like a big 3-toed box turtle to me...but the yellow spots on it's front legs throw me...and I have box turtles. I have decided I am going to stop embarrassing myself in public by misidentifying species...Somebody better then me will correct me soon...in the mean time welcome. Seriously tho, try and find it's owner before you decide to keep it. It's Spring, and they are all running away from home looking for a mate...
Looks like some kind of box turtle. Show us the plastron, please. Hinge is an indicator.
Where was it found? This is important to see if it's native ... And maybe can be released again ... Or maybe must be kept.
It was found in a condo complex in azusa, CA. I am pretty certain it is a pet, going to put up flyers.Looks like some kind of box turtle. Show us the plastron, please. Hinge is an indicator.

But don't describe the animal, just put "found, 3 toed box turtle". That way the real keeper can then describe it to you. Otherwise some creep will try to claim it.It was found in a condo complex in azusa, CA. I am pretty certain it is a pet, going to put up flyers.
