I found a turtle in the street and I want to know what kind it is?

Answer 1

Gee, moron, can you try describing it?

Answer 2

Did you keep it? If so, you can take it to your local zoo or a pet store that sells reptiles and ask them. Or you could take a picture of it and "post" it on the Internet and ask for identification.

I just "googled" turtles and one site looks good:

www.allturtles.com

so you might want to look there.

If you could give more details (what part of the country are you in, what does the turtle look like) I'm sure you'll get better answers from the people who read this. I'm very impressed with the knowledge I've read on Yahooo Answers and always learn something new.

Good luck!

By the way, turtles are considered to be "good luck" in many cultures.

Answer 3

Be careful handling turtles they like chicken carry salmonela, after touching the turtle wash your hands. But most likely it's a box turtle but not knowing how big or small I really can't help

Answer 6
