Hello,
My neighbor just called because she found this tortoise in her driveway. Apparently she ran over him when she pulled into her garage. I have him in a plastic tub in my house. He has a crack that was bleeding just a small amount on his underside. (Please see pictures) He immediately climbed into the pan of water I put in the tub. I have no idea what kind he is or how bad this injury is. His legs/feet seem fine. He appears fairly active. I would say his shell is about 6-7 inches long. Can someone help me locate a rescue that will accept him? I live in Riverside, CA. Curious, do you think he is native or an escaped pet? I have never seen a turtle/tortoise of any kind around here before.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Teresa
