Let's see...a common turtle with orange or yellow on its head and legs is the wood turtle. This turtle got its name due to the appearance and feel of its shell which resembles a cross section of a piece of wood.
This turtle is semi-aquatic meaning it spends time on both land and water. It eats insects, worms, and berries like strawberries and blueberries.
