I am in Pennsylvania and i did not get him from a pet store. i got him from a lady a couple towns away she told me that he was born with her from his mom and he has always been a house pet.

There are many species and subspecies of sidenecke turtles in Africa, most of which is in western Africa though. I sent you an email, and if I look at the pics, I can positicely ID it for you and give you better advice about care.
Good luck

If you bought the turtle, please understand that pet shops OFTEN mis-label animals for one reason or another.
If you found it and you live somewhere like Florida, it could have been someone else's released turtle. Florida has a LOT of weird alien released species running around.
Wu Gwei can ID it, I am sure!
Good luck!
