Jason's right!!! :D do either of you have ANY idea what i should do with it???? i put it in an empty tank with water and fish rocks that slope up to create dry land... but what now???? what do i feed it????:D it's SOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!!!!!!!

First off you should try to identify what species it is. so you know what it eats and so you can make sure its legal to keep.:)

From New York, it is probably either a Red-Eared Slider or Painted turtle

Some reading for you. :)

well... i don't see any red on his head so maybe a painted???? although sliders are more common around my area :confused:..... but i dont plan on keeping him... my mom would kill me if i told her i was... :D but he's so cute.... any ideas on what to feed it for the next day or two???

If its an aquatic turtle, worms and bits of fish should work.

[Snake lover 3-25]

okay thanks... i put some worms in there but it hasn't touched them... i'll most likely bring it back tomarrow i would now but it's storming out...

[Loren]

Also, if its a box turtle, it would eat vegetables.

[Snake lover 3-25]

nope not a box... i think it's a painted...
