My friend is a manager at a Petsmart and a customer brought this guy/gal in because they found him in their back yard. I agreed to take him in (my friend thought he was a tortoise). I only have tortoises besides this guy. I wanted to release it if it was a wild turtle, but I could not tell if it was. I think it started its life out wild and someone had it in their back yard and it got out and this person found it.
I know it is an Ornate box turtle, but is it a regular ornate or a desert ornate? And is it male or female. I'm not so good at telling with turtles. If you need any other pics to tell, let me know and I'll take them.
Thanks,
