this is a turtle i rescued. it was originally found in someone's backyard in the mouth of a dog so the people that found it decided to keep it. needless to say they didn't take proper care of it and now don't even want it anymore. so rather than letting said turtle be dumped who knows where i offered to take it. i know nothing about turtles and have never owned one so firstly i need to know what kind of turtle this is and secondly how to properly care for it. it has quite a few scratches and missing parts of shell i assume that is from the dog. people just make me sick. sorry about the quality of pics it was the best i could do considering this turtle does not like to be handled i wanted to make it as short as possible for him.
