new here and need help with breed

[veerendra]

Hi people this is Veera and I need help identifying below species. Can anyone help

Hi and welcome I am useless at IDing torts/turtles but I have seen pics of them here so someone who has more experience will be along soon and point you in the direction of the right caresheet.
Where are you located? Did you buy or find him?

 

[veerendra]

I am in India and my friend found it in his new apartments. I think left off by old tenants

Can't help you with ID, sorry, just wanted to stop by and say hi. Welcome from Texas

@Anthony P or @Gerard might be able to help with ID.

Pics of the head and plastron might help too.

Looks like a kind of mauremys. But some more pics would be helpful

Could it be a cane turtle?

That's would be awesome but I don't think so. Except he lives in India

The nearest look-a-like I've found on google is a Malayan flat shelled turtle - but as I said I'm not very good at this.

I think it's one of the River Terrapins (Batagur).

Better if we could see head, neck and plastron and something for scale to judge size. But sure looks like an Indian Black Turtle Geoemydidea melanochelys - 95% sure.

Sorry, can't help you as far as the species is concerned. But ....

A very warm welcome to the forum.

Hi guys thank you for all the inputs and I was looking for the bread so that I could take good care of it. Right now it's rating lots of fish food and turtle food sticks that I got from local pet shop.

Here are few more pics and a video

I think it's melanochelys trijuga
