Help with breed

[joez1200]

I have this tortoise here and was just wondering what species it is... Anyone know? Thank you.

I say box turtle, don't know which one though. And turtles are referred to by species not breeds just FYI.

Maybe a three-toed box turtle?

Hi Joez1200:

Welcome to the Forum!!

You have a three toed box turtle there (Terrapene carolina triunguis). They are very nice turtles and can become very human-oriented. Quite nice turtles.

What would you like us to call you?

...and may we know appx. where in the world you are?

Thank you all for the replies I am in Texas and found her in the middle of the road. She seems very friendly and enjoys to roam around the house. Very cool pet
